ant.bat does not put .zip files into classpath

           Summary: ant.bat does not put .zip files into classpath
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.4.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Wrapper scripts
        AssignedTo: ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: psurette@espial.com


ant.bat adds all jars in the lib/ directory into
the system classpath, but it does not add zip
files.

As far as I know, it is still legal, if deprecated
to distribute java libraries in zip files, and
oracle does exactly this (drivers are classes111.zip
or classes12.zip). 

Here's the patch for ant.bat (the ant shell
script will need something similar):
*** ant.bat     Mon Oct  1 19:41:56 2001
--- myant.bat   Fri Nov  2 00:06:14 2001

+ for %%i in ("%ANT_HOME%\lib\*.zip") do call "%ANT_HOME%\bin\lcp.bat" %%i

  if "%JAVA_HOME%" == "" goto noJavaHome
  if "%_JAVACMD%" == "" set _JAVACMD=%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java
