I still don't think it is correct to install anything in ant/lib. This
affects *every* Ant build on the system, sometimes with very unpleasant
consequences (note that these classes override anything build scripts
try to put on the classpath, including conflicting versions of the same
jar).

Management of the Ant system classpath should be left to the user
(~/.ant/lib) or system administrator, for which I suggest that we add
another location /usr/local/share/ant/lib for local administrator's use.

Cheers,

Marcus
