I fixed the build breakage on Saturday when committing something else, so you dont need to worry about that now.
The issue below is due to the somewhat ancient version of Ant you are using; a commit some weeks ago has used an attribute not supported until Ant 1.7.1, released in June 2008. You say you cant update, but is that really the case? All that is required to update Ant would be to unpack the ~6+ MB binary (e.g. from http://www.apache.org/dist/ant/binaries/ ) and add the bin directory to your path, job done. The alternative would be to rework the additions to support 1.6.5, but at over 6 years old I think its time we gave up on that and take advantage of the bug fixes and newer features in later releases (theres a few I've spotted in 1.8.X that I look forward to using at some point down the line, once its suitably aged).
