method to determine ant version?

[Seth Delackner <se...@jtan.com>]

Is there a public method that returns the version number of Ant?  I
would rather not have to just check for the existence of classes you
may later remove, when all I care about is that the version be >= 1.4.

Please CC me any response as I am not subscribed to the list.

I'll look into trying to read the property file in ant.jar, but 
getAntVersion () is not introduced until v1.4!  Maybe I can just
try to get the getAntVersion () method and if that fails, I know
I'm pre-1.4, and if it succeeds, then I can call it.
