I actually did find a solution in the following thread (but have yet to test it):
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ant-user/200811.mbox/%3c20411245.p...@talk.nabble.com%3e My issue is I don't know the final base dir where this will all be installed, so it needs to be portable with respect to how all the directories are arranged, that is, it should be able to be copied to various places or installed whereever, and then hosted via whatever document root and just work. Hopefully the above solution should work, and if it does I'll probably make it a task.
