Personally, I'd not be happy if we added a parallel build system. Given that so much Ant code is necessary to handle some details shows how inflexible Maven is. I haven't checked how much Ant code is duplicated between the root-level build.xml and the files in the "maven" subdirectory. IMO, this would be a maintenance head-ache since the two always have to be kept in sync. If build.xml would be split into re-usable sub-file (Ant is quite flexible), some duplication could be avoided maybe. But that would still impose some level of redundancy. At any rate, you probably can't count me in to help maintain the Maven side due to my very bad experiences with it.
Also, I'm not sure if the <symlink> task will work as expected on Windows.
