I think that Jason/Geir is working on this... ;-)
In general, if project B depends on project A, and project C depends on B,
it is not always the case the C depends on A.
In the case of a dependency on Ant, all that really implies is a dependency
on a JAXP compliant parser. And there are cases where you might want to
compile with a different parser.
And, to be honest, I had always assumed that the rate of change of
dependencies would be low. History has proven me wrong.

Patches which integrate Alexandria with Gump or Gump with Alexandria, or
even canabilize one to work better with the other will be eagerly accepted.

Cool! For the short term, I'll likely add the dependencies for you.
