you need to check out the HEAD of ant from CVS, and build it. It will be
in Ant1.7

I think CVS may be in sync, but better to use SVN if you can. I use
SmartSVN, the java client, and give it the full URL to the repository;
it does the rest.
The URL you want is http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ant/core/trunk/ ;
use https if you think a proxy is going to interfere.
check it out, build it by
bootstrap or sh bootstrap.bat
build install-lite or sh build.sh install-lite
Making the optional jars is harder; look at fetch.xml to see how to
download the OSS libraries you need for the majority of optional things;
install these into lib/optional to compile, lib/ to use

How do I check out the source? I found the SVN page at
http://ant.apache.org/svn.html, but it's not clear what [project] is
supposed to be. Is there a way to check out using a regular CVS client?
