I spent some time trying to build a new release for cpptasks.   
Unfortunately the task documentation is produced on a prototype Ant  
documentation facility that is fragile and whose development was  
abandoned several years ago and I haven't found the right combination  
of JDK (looks like it has to be a JDK 1.4, not a 1.3 or a 1.5) and  
Platform to build it.

Sorry about the frustration.  The earlier APR releases are still  
available on http://archive.apache.org/dist.  I've updated the  
build.xml to point to there for right now until I have a chance to  
upgrade to a later APR release (issue LOGCXX-141).
