It is big, but not complex.
Have a look at the png, you can see clear patterns here.

It's a bit messy in the front (that was me, trying to maintain
compatibility, to stay as less controversial as possible).
But what is the process basically:
- compile (ant supports compiling only changed files)
- building deps (only those that need change)
- building jars (only those that need change)
We can reduce a lot of duplication by bundling those actions in single
targets, and better uptodate checking. A number of macros should suffice.
We can reduce a lot of variable definition, by specifiying them in the
target where they are needed.
