So you want to replace a scheduled batch file with a scheduled ant file ? Why 
bother...

I just keep an eye on the change log from the server, which as we use 
Subversion is just an RSS feed.

Well, we use Subversion, so it might not be relevant :-)

We're a small team, and not all in the same place at the same time. But we can 
co-ordinate via Skype or email well enough that we're not going to tread on 
anyones toes. 
Updates to any shared components are done and tested in isolation and 
then 'released' for the rest of the team to upgrade to when they are ready. 
Typically that won't be the following day because they'll be wanting to 
finish their existing block of work first.
