I agree... I also installed 1.2-rc3 from source recently (new computer). And ran into the same problems.
One other suggestion I might add is adding a default task to the build.xml that prints your options. For example, in the source distribution for log4j, when doing $ ant in the dir where the build.xml file is located, you get a general usage message showing all the available tasks and a short description of each.
