This worked for me. Only problem with it is when I run Ant thru'
antRunner/Jbuilder, and my beautifully formatted tables are displayed in a
variable-width font :( I did think that this was the "recommended" Ant way
of echo-ing mulit-line text, but re-reading the docs they don't specify
multiple *display* lines, just text that spans multiple lines of the build
file.

I'll play around tonight, and see what I get.
