[tei-council] Jenkins config changes

[Martin Holmes]

P5 builds on the UVic Jinks are now showing the correct date and version 
information, so I think we're good.

P5-Test is still broken, though. I think it's something to do with ant 
not being able to find xerces when it's doing the HTML validation. 
Perhaps we need to add xerces to the <classpath> of the <taskdef> in 
validatehtml.xml?

Cheers,
Martin
