Ant should have an ext directory

["Dick, Brian E." <Br...@FMR.com>]

Does anyone else get an icky feeling when copying extension libraries
into the lib directory? Isn't that why the java runtime added the ext
directory?

Ant 1.6 or higher hunts for its jars on three places:
${ant.home}/lib, ${user.home}/.ant/lib and the
directory specified by -lib option of ant laumching
script. So from Ant 1.6 I do copy no jars in
${ant.home}/lib; instead I place them in
${user.home}/.ant/lib. This ease me when I change
ant/jdk version I work with.
