New Ant Target for TC4
First of all, Remy, great work on the new build stuff. I particularly like the
output at the beginning, where it reports which jars it found.
It's so useful, in fact, that I think it deserves its own target for several
reasons ("detect" maybe?). First, it scrolls offscreen really quickly, and it's
hard to scroll back up during a build. Second, it would sometimes be nice to
see what is getting detecting without actually doing a build (if you are
setting up a new development environment from scratch, for example). Also, it
would be a great debugging tool for answering user build questions, since one
could have them simply run the "detection" target and verify that everything is
set up right.
Thoughts?

Thanks, Chritopher.

Ok, I'll do that. 'detect' looks fine to me. It's not exposed by the top
level build script at the moment, but I'll add that.
