Hi.  I'm considering using buildr as an ant replacement.  We want to use our 
local repository to store our jars, but we've never created POM's for any of 
them (nor do we want to).  When I try to retrieve an artifact:

repositories.remote << '<my repository>'
artifact('lib:apache-ant:ant:1.7.0').install

it fails with:

Failed to download lib:apache-ant:pom:1.7.0, tried the following repositories:
<my repository>
<my buildfile>:2
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/buildr-1.3.5/lib/buildr/core/application.rb:398:in 
`raw_load_buildfile'
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/buildr-1.3.5/lib/buildr/core/application.rb:218:in 
`load_buildfile'
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/buildr-1.3.5/lib/buildr/core/application.rb:213:in 
`load_buildfile'


Is there a way to convince buildr not to download POM's?  This seems like it 
would be a useful option for people who aren't migrating from Maven to buildr.

Thanks,
Ed
