That is why I said it would be nice to have.
However, my abilty to code .bat files is very poor. ant.bat has had a lot of history and is not something anyone would want to modify.
One work-around could be to have another "special" option -orig_classpath "%CLASSPATH%"
and allow Launcher.java to check for the -cp option in added by users. If it exists, it will
override the -orig_classpath option.

By user visible I meant that ant -cp x:y:z would not be supported by the ant[.bat]. By support, I mean x:y:z replacing CLASSPATH in the java call. It would be a nice to have, but would need support by the the script (sh and bat), in detecting -cp, setting LOCALCLASSPATH and CLASSPATH correctly.
actually, we could be very cool and say "ant -cp path" tells ant to avoid the CLASSPATH env environment.
this would be good for those classpath-screwed-up support calls. We could tell people to run ant -cp "" and see if that fixes their problem -if it does, tell them to fix the CLASSPATH.
