Has anyone got any thoughts (positive or negative) about this?

http://code.google.com/p/winant/

I'm just looking at html5boilerplate and the build script is IMHO
fairly standard for a none build person and I came across this
reference to an 'installer for ant'

Weird?

Should we add it to the external tools section?

I think there would be a fair number of Windows users who want an
installer to do the work for them:

1. Keep track of installed products
2. Figure out where to put Ant
3. Update paths, set environment variables
4. Make sure there is a compatible JVM
etc

When in Rome ...

I'm also happy to list it.

I can't say that I understand the premise of the thing...installing Ant on 
Windows is hard? Surely I'm missing something: when did unzip & go become 
"hard"?

I do not mind either having this program added to the external tools 
section.

I've seen it come up in some searches but never looked into it.

So far we've waited for people to submit their own entries for the page
but I don't see any harm in creating one ourselves from the public
information on the project's website.
