Thanks Mark.

I've looked there and I also downloaded the Android src (hence the
delay before this reply).

>From the command line (or a Makefile) I end up in the "apkbuilder"
script, this does little except starting
com.android.sdklib.build.ApkBuilderMain .
The ApkBuilderMain appears to be very thin : it basically calls
ApkBuilder in one of several ways. And it prints the warning that
triggered me.

It looks like Ant has its own stuff in ApkBuilderTask.java, bypassing
ApkBuilderMain and thus no warning.

Conclusion seems to be that this is a wild goose chase : there's very
little I can do right now except ignoring the message.
Is this the right conclusion or am I missing something ?

Can someone note that leaving such messages (pointing to --help which
isn't there) confuses people ?

Thanks,

  Danny
