I think we should be using ant for everything. The goal is to have a
command line build and ant will give us that. We need to ensure that
the samples can also be built/deployed using an ant script and that
the documentation is updated to reflect this.

While we are at it we should write some ant scripts to build and
package a distribution.

So, if ant build is working on all platforms we can get rid of the
VSExpress stuff and the Automake stuff.

Cheers,
