The only reason why I do mention it is because my personal experiences with 
makefiles, etc tends to be very error prone and tedious.  Whereas a NANT or 
ANT script tends to make cross-platform build management fairly easy.  I 
often move between Java on W2K, XP, LINUX PPC and LINUX Intel and have no 
problem with ANT.  With other build files I often have problems of certain 
paths not found or compilation not supported, etc, etc.

Was just wondering that is all...
