Ok, so since I have no idea about that either, I suggest we change the fix
version to 2.0. Since it's not really related a release, it isn't that much
a problem. OK?

But we will have to take an action one day or another, so I don't know if
somebody can help in this area. Maybe Ant committers can?

I agree for blocking issues for 2.0 final, but not for a beta. If we wait
for all outstanding issues to release a beta, then it's more a RC than a
beta. Having some known issues is not a problem in a beta IMO, and our maven
2 support is already pretty good. So I wouldn't mind if those issues aren't
solved for the beta, but it seems they will anyway :-)

Ok, since Maarten has worked on IVY-616 and other related issues, it would
be good to synchronize. Maarten, maybe you could make sure to commit your
changes today, even if you still have some remaining issues, it will help
Gilles to have a look at IVY-586, and all of us to help in your
investigation to solve the remaining issue if necessary. Do you guys agree
with that?
