Yarg, I assumed "build.properties" but just went back and looked at Ant's
build.xml file.  Based on that (and Peter's suggestion above), I would
suggest we do the following instead:

  <property file="${basedir}/.ant.properties"/>
  <property file="${basedir}/../.ant.properties"/>
  <property file="${user.home}/.ant.properties"/>

and call our example file ".ant.properties.sample" instead of
"build.properties.sample".
