AntCC Submission

[Dave Smith <DS...@jabber.com>]

Attached is a snapshot of AntCC 1.0.0. I have put it under the Apache
license, but for the moment the task is defined with the com.jabber.ant.cc
namespace. I would like to request inclusion in the ant-optional package,
and see about the possiblity of getting this code hosted by the Ant project
CVS. I am purposely not putting this into SourceForge at this point in time,
since it seems that this package will have the most value if it is included
in the Ant distribution. 

Although this is a "1.0" release, be aware that it can still go a long way.
The key here is that I had an itch that I scratched. Now I tried to be as
generic as possible, but it's certainly not the
Ultimate-SuperWhack-C/C++-Build-Tool. It's simply a task that makes it easy
to build the majority of C/C++ programs out there. At some point in the near
future I plan on adding support for the SunForte compiler, but for the
moment this task is decidedly gcc/g++ Unix centric. 

I welcome all comments and suggestions.

Actually it was the other way around - my task only handled gcc and vc.

I have the half finished 'unified' version sitting around somewhere - if you
like I can tidy it up and post it over on the ant-contrib list.

Dave, It would be interesting to get your take on how your implementation
stacks up against the others.  Definitely the other tasks seemed to support
more compilers (gcc and vc for Mark's and gcc, vc,  Sun workshop and an AIX
compiler for Adam's).

I've dredged the other two implementations from my email and will commit
Adam Murdoch's into the ant-contrib CVS in a couple of hours.  Mark
Russell's didn't have the Apache License pasted on every source file, so
I've asked him if he would like to change that and commit his
implementation.

The other implementations basically suffered the same fate, they were
developed, emailed to the mailing list and left dormant since the people
most interested in them aren't Ant committers and if they were immediately
put in the Ant CVS, there would be little chance for collaboration.
