Defect 3720 (CDATA ignored) and Scala 2.8.1 final

2.8.1 is binary compatible with 2.8.0, so (as I understand it) the
guys have been having to manually port fixes across from trunk. I'm
guessing that you'll see the fix for this in 2.9

The 2.9 nightly contains this fix.

If you need to use the fix urgently and you're able to modify your scala
installations and it's not too impractical, you should be able to compile the
patched MarkupParser with the 2.8.1 compiler, jar the class into a file name
that will come before scala-library.jar (like 00MarkupParser.jar) and drop that
into $SCALA_HOME/lib. You won't need to download the whole source, just that
file.
