What's the difference between uninstall and clean?

Just need to add a could of -D parameters to the Makefile in the jdbc
directory.
ie:
ant -Dmajor=8 -Dminor=2
that would set the version to be 8.2

Hmm, not a good idea. The driver should be as globally useable (part of
write once run anywhere), so this would be pretty disasterous.
So far our standard has been to use 5432 if no port is supplied.

You can by passing the base dir in the ant command line using -D
ie:
ant -Ddest=/tmp/dest -Djars=/tmp/jars
would build unti /tmp/dest and put the jars under /tmp/jars
