Hi Sergey,

I used an intermediary version of antlr (3.3) locally to build
stringtemplate4 the first time, and then I built antlr 3.5.2 with
stringtemplate4.

The sequence is:
1. Upgrade antlr3/3.2 to the version 3.3
2. Build stringtemplate 4.0.6 with antlr 3.3
3. Upgrade antlr3 to the version 3.5.2
4. Upgrade stringtemplate4 to the version 4.0.8

I realize now that I haven't handled this circular dependency in the
best way for Debian derivatives, my apologies. This caused a similar
issue to the Ubuntu Java maintainers, and they ended up using the .deb
from Debian to bootstrap the build.
