This properties file is imported in the remaining Ant builds that I had not
enough motivation to redo. The Ant builds that use this reference the JAR files
from this project as well. IMHO this is a very poorly constructed side-channel
that has no guarantees from what I can see to ensure the Java code has been
built to any level before attempting to use the classes.
