    I would like to point out one distinction: I would like to replace the 
stuff that works (sort of) with **less** stuff that does the same job, and 
hopefully more. Besides, my beef with Maven Ant tasks was that they morphed 
into Aether Ant tasks, and then Maven Resolver Ant tasks and changed syntax 
along the way, and I couldn't add Bintray using Maven Ant tasks (at least in a 
nontrivial way).
    
    `buildoxspackage` is a requested feature, and it does no harm to keep it, 
albeit in a simple native implementation.
    
    The point with `signit.xml` is that Ivy does it all in one go with 
`upload.xml` and with less stuff in `ivy.xml`
    
    I can change `fetch.xml` so that release conf goes into a separate place, 
and so Ivy + BouncyCastle are kept out of sight (unlike Maven Ant tasks).
