Actually, you probably could have simply changed the property to point to libs.

However, none of this makes sense. I am able to successfully compile
and run projects that lack this line in a .properties file, even using
the latest build tools. The property in question is defined in rules
files imported by your build.xml file -- you should not need to define
that yourself.
