Some of us don't like installing Ant as we're playing with multiple 
versions.  With Avalon that is particularly true.  Peter Donald is one 
the main contributors to Ant and he's pushing it the whole time.  We 
already have <sar> as a taskdef that is not in Ant (the PDK build.xml 
file would not use it as we are attracting newbies).  When we rech teh 
ant2 era, it will be open season on taskdefs, but for the moment it's 
easiest to include the Ant your want to use inside your source repository.
