Yes, it certainly is a wonderful build file, but I suspect that a few smaller ones might be more helpful to a new user. I am teaching a friend of mine how to use ant and I think that a huge build file would overwhelm him right now.
Would it just be more helpful to post commented build files to this list and let people find them through the list archives or actually put up a page somewhere?
