I was intending to get time to review the release tomorrow.
But even if I think that this antlib is truly helpful, I don't have any 
particular interest in helping maintain it. So don't consider me more than 
someone helping through the ASF release process. And by the way, I have no 
worry doing it, I'm glad software like this one continue to live. My free time 
slots are just quite sparse.

About continuing within Apache or not, I always have a preference on within, 
but I don't mind much. Actually the antlib that I use the most is ant-contrib, 
which is not Apache. :)

I don't know much this antlib, even as a user.
