The idea of the ANT_IMPORT_PATH is to provide a list of possible locations to 
import a file from.  Our shop places software either in $HOME/local (if you're 
compiling from source and do an "ant install"), $HOME/rpm (if you've installed 
from an rpm), or / (if installed as root).  This setup would allow me to set 
ANT_IMPORT_PATH to "$HOME/local:$HOME/rpm:/" and include the file with a simple 
import statement.  I'm looking to place the search paths in a variable (similar 
to CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH for g++ compiler) and have the import task use the first 
found file.

If I use the current implementation, I'd have to add a number of path elements 
to the build.xml file.  I prefer to keep the build.xml file as small and clean 
as possible, so I'd prefer not to do this.
