Err... the latest (1.4alpha) binary and source distribution have the JAXP 1.1
jars in the lib directory, which will get picked up automatically when you run
ant.  The 1.3 binary and source distributions have the JAXP 1.0.1 jars in the 
lib
directory.

What exactly do you mean when you say you did a "clean install" of Ant?

And what happens when the next version of JAXP comes along and crimson.jar gets
named blah.jar?  The current method works better by my way of thinking.
