PS. note that JUnit is only required by the Ant tests, you can build a minimal
distribution of Ant by removing the "test-jar" dependency from "dist-lite" and
running:
ant dist-lite
Alternatively if you want to run the Ant unit tests for sanity checking, you
can always build a basic JUnit4 distribution with Ant 1.6.5 (it still comes
with a build.xml)
