Currently I'm using this order:

     * Load task definitions:
     *
     * 1. From ${ant.home}/lib/ant.jar:/META-INF/tasklib.xml
     * 2. From ${ant.home}/ext/*.jar:/META-INF/tasklib.xml
     * 3. From ${user.home}/.ant/ext/*.jar:/META-INF/tasklib.xml
     * 4. From a file specified thru <taskdef lib="...

allowing the user to override a task using the same name ant is using in
it's distribution (just put an ftp.tsk in ~/.ant/ext and the one ant
distributes will be overridden). Should this be changed to the order James
suggested?

Can you all live with META-INF/tasklib.xml (since it's providing more than
one anttask?) or should I rename it?

I think I should have something working next week
