We did discuss, we did decide, but of course not everyone on this list 
was on that call, nor did I make a formal announcement to the list. So 
here it is:

For the time being, and at least through the balance of our current 
funding, we'll stick with ant and focus that part of our 
make-implementation-easier efforts on things such as standardizing dir 
structures and build tasks and reducing the number of places at which 
the same or similar config files or 3rd party libs must be duplicated.
