I've no objection against ~dp (+1).
But to be more correct here, we should place this path not into
CLASSPATH, but into PATCHED_ANT_CLASSES and append it to ant launcher
by means of -lib option.
So, if we do this, then we can remove setting the CLASSPATH in
environment altogether? This seems cleaner and less like magic, which
is always good.

Some child java processes are launched without -classpath option and
expect the classes in their cwd (default JVM behaviour). This dot in
CLASSPATH satisfies these expectations. If we will run ant without
changes in CLASSPATH this dot won't be needed (as and "SET CLASSPATH"
itself).
Thanks,
