When I setup the performance testing environment for sync,
I dropped my custom Antlib jar into a freshly made Ant CVS
HEAD distrib. I ran my build file, which referenced my old
lsync task using the antlib: magic XML namespace, and I was
surprised to get an error about a task I wasn't even using!

I always thought that tasks whose dependents cannot be found
are simply ignored, with just a warning at verbose level.
Otherwise I'd get such errors left and right for the many
optional tasks I don't have the JARs for.

So what's different in this case? BTW, I checked, and also
got an error if I used <taskdef resource=""> instead of an
XML NS, and I checked it's the same for CVS HEAD and 1.6.2.

Can someone please explain what's going on? Thanks, --DD
