Oh, cool.
Something like Maven's Reactor?

Sure. I asked a vote for promotion but it was -1 till FileUtil(s) get
merged, deprecated methods get thrown out and some other minor things.

I never mind when someone does something for me ;-)
Sometimes people get upset when someone does something they should do
instead, I find it kinda amusing at times.

Of course.

Active.
I already asked if he would like to use the commons packages with Ant,
*without* moving code back to Ant, making Ant use the commons releases.
He's +1 for it conceptually, but there is always the Gump
Ant-is-Ant-builds-Ant-don't-wanna-dependency problem.
If you could sort this out with Stefan it would be great.

BTW, I put the unit tests in the same packages for consistency with
existing tests and to enable whitebox testing.
Do as you prefer, just telling you why you'll find them there.
