I'd love Ant to be split into more packages -- the deps for the Ant
1.5.4 are so much greater than 1.4.1 that I still have 1.4.1 on hold. 
There should be an ant package which is just the core tasks, and then
split the -optional stuff into seperate packages, maybe putting the
jython stuff into a seperate pacakge of its own.
