I'd expect all version info to be in ivy.xml; when I declare a
configuration in the <antlib> declaration, I say which ivy configuration
I want, without any version info embedded in the build files
And where is the ivy.xml?

that's what we would have to add above what is there today.

I do think a resource version of cachepath is exactly what we want. We
dont need a lifecycle for resources either, provided the resource can
track whether it has resolved (or failed to resolve) yet. it just does a
resolution the first time its needed (this is how filepaths work)
This shouldn't be too difficult to handle. The most difficult part for
us is that this is specific to ant 1.7, so we will have a part of our
code base specific to 1.7, and the rest compatible with ant 1.6, so we
will have to be very careful not to introduce ant 1.7 dependency in
the rest of the code base.
