Actually, as far as I know it is jar itself that does this, not ant.

Not in my experience.  We tried all kinds of different types of manifest files and 
eventually the only way we could get it to work if the classpath entry was longer than 
72 characters was to have each jar on its own line, with spaces padded to the 71st 
character.  Doing that, jar created a classpath entry in the manifest that had correct 
line breaks.  Probably not the right way to handle it, but it worked.
