You star. Could I suggest that ant.home should be added to the manual?
(I did look on the website first, honest!) I suppose I could just edit
it in CVS myself - dangerous path to start down, of course...

I'll have a look; the trouble is that if you add the jar file mid-build,
that jar isn't added to the core classloader (for obvious reasons).
I'll investigate whether using an <ant> task after doing the copy does
the right thing - if it does, then a bootstrapping layer would sort me
out.
I still think it would be nice to separate things out :)
(Maybe that's what you were saying and I'm just being dense though...)
