That's not my understanding.  libB would cause libA and libC to loaded
a second time, this time in a class loader accessible by libB.

So we'd tell people "if you encounter class loader problems in Ant
1.4.1, you most likely have to move some jar out of ANT_HOME/lib and
if your encounter them in Ant 1.5 you have to move some jar into
ANT_HOME/lib"?

<style> is a core, as is <mapper> and both frequently cause the known
problems.
