It's trivial, *if* we knoiw exactly what we want. I intend to generate the
build.xml file using XSLT and I'm an XSLT Wizard(TM) by now :)

Then we still need to pass the installation directory for the docs, don't
we? Or how would we determine this in the build file?

Yeah, good point! We could even have -cvs ports in addition to the existing
-devel ports :-)

Should the sources go below ${PREFIX}/src ? Need to check hier(7)...

Hmm, you're probably right. But then we need to pass a lot of variables to
the Ant build system. Perhaps either using -Dpropertyname=value or by
generating a .properties file...
