Did I sound like that? I hope not.

That's why I presented it. In general I prefer namespaces for their
clarity inside of the build file as well.
For Gump's purpose all that had to be done was a single namespace
declaration on <project> and prefixes later on, but outside of Gump,
antcontrib.jar wouldn't be on the CLASSPATH and you must use an
explicit <antlib> with classpath definitions - or taskdef.

Patches are always welcome. ;-)

The ant-contrib website is out-of-date in many ways, mainly because it
doesn't get updated automatically. The CVS version of the docs is
further ahead.
