Thanks for the suggestions: Koji: I am aware of Cygwin. The problem is I am not sure how to do the whole thing. I downloaded a nightly zip file and extracted it to a directory. Where do I put the .patch file? Where do I execute the "patch..." command from? It doesn't work when I do it at the root of the install.
Michael: I'll take a look at that standalone utility. Paul: I assume that in order to do it with svn, you need to checkout the trunk? What do you do after that? Do you have the link to the distributions? I get "OPTIONS of 'http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/solr/trunk': could not connect to server (http://svn.apache.org)" when I try. Something tells me that my proxy is blocking the connection. If that is the case, then I don't think that I can do a checkout. Do you have any other alternatives?
