+<p>To simplify checkouts of the latest sources for each major version of Apache
+Tomcat, a Subversion feature called externals has been used. This groups all 
+the modules for a major Apache Tomcat release as sub-directories of a single
+directory and enables them to be checked out in a single command. The modules
+included for each version are listed in the section below.</p>
+
+<p>There are some caveats to remember. Since all the subdirectories are still
+really different slices from the repository, relative paths won't always work
+as expected, for example. See the
+<a href="http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch07s04.html">Externals
+Definitions</a> section of the <a href="http://svnbook.red-bean.com/">
+Subversion Book</a> for details.</p>
+
+<p>The URLs to use to checkout each version are:</p>
