Re: Ant 1.9.0

Hello Bruce, 

I can see myself implementing the removal of the Perforce Ant tasks, this should be pretty straightforward.

I will work on this this week-end.

A complication was that we wanted to create AntLibs for them if we couldn't get the vendors to support them directly so that there was minimal upset for our users, but apart from the VSS tasks that didn't happen. I did contact all the vendors at the time but I got virtually no response. The only company that did respond, as I recall, was Perforce. Perhaps that is why they now provide decent tasks themselves.
