Partly because of a need to build commons-codec from source
(distribution packaging rules [1]) and I'd rather not deviate from the
upstream distribution by adding my own manifest file to the resulting
jar and partly because (rather selfishly) ant is the build system I
know and can debug because I use it for work.

It's no biggie if you can't do this for the release, I just thought it
would be better if the resultant jars were identical then users
wouldn't have to know about the quirks of using each build system.

Plus, why *wouldn't* you want the OSGI information in the Ant generated jar? ;-)
