Re: Build Scripts Redux

[Jeff Turner]

Are these characterizations right?

 - If Ant isn't bundled, then there's no shell files, and build.xml and
   build.properties can be dropped in the project root, just like Makefiles.
   Nice, simple and intuitive.
 - If Ant isn't bundled, then dependencies becomes a hassle.
 - The dependency problem can be solved by a commons/lib directory, containing
   optional.jar, junit.jar, xerces1.2.2.jar, etc. The INSTALL doc then tells
   people to drop this stuff in $ANT_HOME/lib, if it's not already there.

Otherwise it's back to bundling Ant, script files, "build" directories, etc,
which would be sad.
