Of course, there probably is an Ant task that can run command line

entirely new view component.
A couple of things:
* Cedric is right; we can't get rid of 'ant updateAntLib' entirely, since
we need things like jblanket for our build process which are unrelated to
Hackystat. But we can get rid of the sensor jar files from hackyBuild.
* Ant has an <exec> task which would allow us to invoke hackyInstaller.jar
via its command line interface. In some ways, I actually prefer this to
building an Ant task, because if we build an Ant task, then we have to get
the jar file into ant/lib, which means 'ant updateAntLib', and we're back
where we started!
Let's start by hacking up an exec task and see what happens. If it seems
that a custom Ant task will buy us something significant, I'm open.
Cheers,
