It is not good for fitting that Java class path setting is (was ?)
hard-coded in Makefile.

I uploaded the changeset which separates environment specific
cnfiguration from Makefile, and you can pull it from below as
5845d2ff0381:

Addition to it, there were some problems to build HGBOOK in my linux
environment (Linux 2.6.26-1-686 debian lenny).


(1) fop(0.94) causes NullPointerException. 

    Some distributions provide fop 0.94 in their packaging system, and
    this version causes NullPointerException as known bug fixed on fop
    0.95.

    # https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44965

(2) some packages other than described in README.BUILD had to be installed

    - libxml-commons-resolver1.1-java
    - xsltproc


This may be specific for my environment, but I'm glad if these help
you to solve your problems.
