The idea behind that is if your local installation of JUnit is somewhere
other than the hard-coded default location, it should be set inside one of
the build.properties files sourced on lines 13-15 (since Ant ignores attempts
at variable redefintion).
However, defining default values for _both_ ${junit.home} and ${junit.jar}
in build.xml seems silly given that ${junit.home} is only used in defining
${junit.jar}. I don't see any reason why they shouldn't be consolidated,
especially given that the Jakarta "standard" (such as it exists) is to
reference ${foo.jar} in the build file.
