Thanks, didn't know that.

Which is fine for something like proposals, but in the source
distribution of Ant it would be quite inconvenient to do so for all
optional tasks or so. The problem arises for
src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/optional/depend/constantpool/InterfaceMethodRefCPInfo.java
and friends.

But it seems to be the only solution, so I'd suggest to tar everything
below src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/optional into
optional.tar. Looks like the best place to slice the source tree to
me.
