I have always done all of my development with the absolute latest Ant. The
results have always been more than just marginally useful.
Now that other people are watching this too, this will become self
re-inforcing. I am now building and posting a number of builds - all using
the latest versions of their dependencies. I think that we are only a few
weeks away from the point whereby most Gump runs will be absolutely clean,
and a month or too from the point where people will actually expect it to
be clean.
If somebody wants me to, I'll gladly post *EVERY* subproject.
Alternatively, if somebody has a better idea, I'll gladly stop posting (but
continue building).

Gump runs scripts. The scripts can be set up to point to stable versions.
