RC1 was built on taroon-beta.  Then RC1 was used as the platform to build
RC2.  Finally, RC2 was used to build the 3.0 final, mostly just to confirm
the self-hosting ability.  gettext is the exception, the copy that shipped
in 3.0 is the copy built on taroon-beta.  Apparently I succeeded in
getting a JDK correctly installed that go and failed later.  At least that
is the word I got on the list from one of the cAos guys.  Still haven't
tried rolling that one again, but I suspect they are right.

Everything you need to rebuild is on the CDs except a JDK.  If you add in
Oracle (which I plan to do for the upcoming respin since it is a free
download for a developers version) you should be able to get tora to build
with Oracle support like RHEL's copy does.
