How to compile CAS source

[Prabhu]

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the reply. I am basically trying to fix one of the bug that I
raised in CAS. http://www.ja-sig.org/issues/browse/CAS-357

The bug is basically about having ip based authentication. Scott had closed
the bug with the following comments.

"""
the CAS infrastructure already supports this extension.

Merely define a Credentials class that extends UsernamePasswordCredentials
that has a Request object and use a Custom CredentialsBinder to place the
Request object in the new Credentials object.  The Request object is then
available to the AuthenticationHandler.
"""

I am having some trouble in making this customisation. So I started
customising few classes in the core package itself. Can you let me know, if
there is a better way to do this customisation, without patching any core
classes?

Thanks,
Prabhu
