Thanks for the pointer ... I wasn't aware of that. That being said, it's not 
clear that a lot of effort should be devoted to the Shale Ant scripts, since 
Wendy has volunteered to Mavenize them (as long as she can deal with the 
either-JSF-RI-or-MyFaces requirements -- boy can she be a glutton for 
punishment sometimes :-).

Even if that weren't the case, though, I'm not positive that, in an Ant-only 
world, defining external dependencies separately (rather than explicitly in 
<get> targets as Shale does now) is necessarily a better thing -- but that 
might also be my long time antipathy to Maven showing through :-).
