No, Ant is not a runtime dependency at all. We are still agreeing,
just not on the terms we use 8-)
To me project A is a "runtime dependency" of B if B needs A at runtime.
In this case, B will have <depend project="A" runtime="true"/> - and
this type of marker is missing for most project definitions ATM.
<depend name="ant" inherit="runtime" /> means that I need Ant at build
time (not runtime) and all the things that Ant has as runtime
dependency as well.
