The tools package is probably a good thing.

Using an old-but-adequate version... I understnd the rationalle, but since
it's specifically labelled as a Xerces tools package, I found the old
version somewat surprising; I would have expected you to use whatever
version of Xerces was already on the user's system. Making that a
prerequisite would cut your download size still further, assuming that
folks want xerces...

If this is to support non-Xerces users of Ant, who otherwise wouldn't have
Xerces present at all.... I can see the advantage of shipping a
compact/reduced-function  parser, but it's somewhat surprising and
introdues the risk of having this come ahead of the "real" Xerces on their
classpath.  A readme file in that directory adapted from your note to me
might be worthwhile, just so folks understand what you're doing and why,
might be cheap insurance.
