First draft. Known issues:

1. Most ant-*.jar optional task JARs not yet included. Just need some Ant script
hacking to get them included by wildcard.

2. Tasks like (unforked) <javac> can only run if tools.jar can be found.
Currently you have to run javaws from a JDK installation for this to happen.
Tested on Linux and will probably work OK with any Sun JDK but may not work with
other JDKs; needs testing on Mac OS X in particular.

3. Currently assumes that the javaws app classloader is a URLClassLoader, and
hack to include tools.jar in the "classpath" may interact poorly with e.g. JPDA
support. Should probably be changed to use a more intelligent class loader.

4. Some file names probably need to be changed a bit to be more distinctive.

5. If you have an external module suite based on a NB platform with the patch,
and you just do e.g. Run JNLP, it will *not* work - the build will fail on the
Ant module. Rather, you need to run nbbuild/build.xml#build-jnlp to create a
platform JNLP repository, then define ${jnlp.platform.codebase} accordingly, and
this will work. The problem is that by default,
apisupport/harness/release/jnlp.xml#jnlp-generate-platform-repository is run and
this target rejects the Ant module. Not sure how you (Yarda) envisioned this
being solved in the future.

6. ${ant.home} will not be defined, so scripts relying on this will fail. In
particular, compiling against ${ant.home}/lib/ant.jar cannot work:

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21856

7. Miscellaneous files from Ant are not bundled, so scripts relying on e.g.
${ant.home}/etc/junit-frames.xsl will also fail. Probably these resources ought
to be bundled inside an appropriate JAR and referenced as classpath entries
instead. TBD if a change in Ant itself can fix this problem.

On the positive side, what does work:

1. Should show Ant Version etc. in settings as usual. Default Ant Home is blank
but you should be able to set it to a custom external location.

2. Tasks like <javac> work if running from a JDK and not a JRE.

3. Custom IDE tasks like <nbbrowse> work if the module is included.

ant/build.xml 1.120 fixes #1 and #4.

#5 is a general issue not limited to this module.

#6 is fixed in Ant 1.7.0, if scripts will use ${ant.core.lib}.

#2, #3, and #7 now filed separately, so marking essentially fixed.
