Do I sense oata.utils.NetworkUtils? Might contain some Proxy
configuration (and if possible detection) code as well.

OK.

sounds right.

Not sure. Who'd maintain it?
It should be some xml format.
I think that it should be on the ant site
and ant committers would be the updaters of it.
- this would be similar to the
related projects page - http://ant.apache.org/projects.html
but have a separate url for each antlib.
? somthing like: http://ant.apache.org/antlibdefintions/<package>.xml
for example: http://ant.apache.org/antlibdefintions/net.sf.antcontrib.xml
of course this raises the issues of version. One may not want the lastest
version of a particular antlib.

Maintaining it for our own Antlibs is
easy, but we wouldn't want the mechanism to only apply for them. And
I'd be scared of the security implications of a Wiki driven list or
something even close to that.
