You are right. We should indeed provide a separate script for this. Question 
is how we distribute this script. But then it shouldn't be treated as part 
of Ant either.

What if we make this a separate port, make Ant dependent on it, and *also* 
change the ant shell script to recognize an environment variable that will 
make it call that script?
