We should do that.  We also need to check whether it does what we want
it to do on Cygwin (I cannot test it myself).

At least one proposal for Ant's future of task libraries would be
broken if we'd make it recursive.  The idea was to have subdirectories
in ANT_HOME/lib and use different class loaders per subdirectory.  The
last thing you'd want would be that these classes would all end up on
the system classloader as well.

Great.

* You need to merge in Diane's Darwin hack (of course I can do that
myself, but as you are volunteering 8-)

* The default location for java-functions should be in ANT_HOME/bin,
not ANT_HOME/lib

* we need your version of java-functions to commit it at the same time
8-)

* putting tools.jar at the front rather then the end of CLASSPATH at
least needs some more discussion.  I cannot see any problems with
this approach, but maybe others do.
