I had quite some time back gotten Ter(ence Parr) to
agree to host future versions of any ANTLR task.  I
would say we can stick with the one we have as a
matter of necessity only.  FWIW, antlr2.org is now the
site for ANTLR 2.x stuff.  We should probably add
something to the task doc to emphasize that it does
not work with ANTLR 3.  AFAIK the command-line options
are different enough that trying to make the task
handle both would be a real PITA.  Not to mention the
fact that the meta-grammar is completely changed which
means existing dependency calculation logic probably
wouldn't work either.  Finally, ANTLR 3 actually
provides some hooks for tools to get generated
artifact names so that the kind of kludgery in our
task doesn't have to take place.
