Message:

IceCite for Greenstone was built 19 July 2017 on the research net linux machine. The version checked out from git and compiled successfully on 5 Oct 2017 produced strange sequences of alphanumeric interspersed with what could be the regular contents when run over the 24.pdf test file in step 4c. So committing the version compiled on 19 July instead, as it works.

+Since we provide the absolute path to the jar nested within pdf-cli, we no longer need to cd into pdf-cli first to run the jar executable.
