Added download and build instructions to GlueGen manual. Added

Manifest to gluegen.jar to make it easier to run as an executable jar.

+The source code for GlueGen may be obtained via CVS:

+</pre>
+
+To build GlueGen, first download the current ANTLR jar file from <a
+href="http://antlr.org/">antlr.org</a>. (NOTE: do not place this jar
+file in the Extensions directory of the JRE or JDK, as this will cause
+the build to fail.) Next, copy <code>make/gluegen.properties</code>
+from the GlueGen workspace to your home directory (pointed to by the
+Java system property <code>user.home</code>; on Windows this is
+e.g. <code>C:\Documents and Settings\username</code>). Edit the copy
+of gluegen.properties in your home directory to point the
+<code>antlr.jar</code> property to the location of the ANTLR jar file
+on your local disk. Finally, cd to the <code>make/</code> subdirectory
+and type "ant". Ant 1.6.x or later is required.

-GlueGen accepts four kinds of command-line arguments:
+GlueGen can be run either as an executable jar file (<code>java -jar

+GlueGen can also be invoked as a subtask within Ant. In order to do
+so, a path element should be defined as follows:
+
+<pre>
+  &lt;path id="gluegen.classpath"&gt;
+    &lt;pathelement location="${gluegen.jar}" /&gt;
+    &lt;pathelement location="${antlr.jar}" /&gt;

+</pre>
+
+where the <code>gluegen.jar</code> and <code>antlr.jar</code>
+properties point to the respective jar files. A taskdef defining the
+GlueGen task should then be specified as follows:
+
+<pre>
+ &lt;taskdef name="gluegen"
+      classname="com.sun.gluegen.ant.GlueGenTask"
+      classpathref="gluegen.classpath" /&gt;
+</pre>
+
+At this point GlueGen may be invoked as follows:
+
+<pre>
+  &lt;gluegen src="[header to parse]" 
+           config="[configuration file]"
