I've converted one medium sized VB / C++ based project from batch files to ANT, using VB's and MSDEV's command line parameters. It wasn't particularly painful, and is noticeably better than plain batch files, but is not quite as flexible as a script based solution such as PERL. In fact, I am looking at dumping ANT and going with a custom PERL based solution (More scripting, but also more flexible). ANT is neat, but I think its niche remains with Java solutions.
It's just my $.02. Your Mileage May Vary.
