Sandbox build process

[Erik Hatcher <er...@ehatchersolutions.com>]

In my efforts to unify the Sandbox build process, I have made a start 
using some new Ant 1.6 features (<import> and <subant>).  While I'm 
familiar with the please-don't-make-me-upgrade effect, it is well worth 
it for the sandbox and will bring a lot of consistency to the projects 
that live there, and with such consistency and a build that can package 
all the sandbox projects into a single distribution and run all the 
unit tests we can bring more visibility to the hidden gems there.

Upgrade to Ant 1.6 if you are running sandbox builds.  If this is a 
hardship for anyone, please let me know and we can maintain the old 
build files with different names - but hopefully upgrading is not a big 
deal.  To clarify - Ant 1.6 is currently only a requirement for the 
sandbox, not the core.

As I mentioned before - one of the goals is to be able to build a 
consolidated sandbox distribution that we can ship either embedded with 
each Lucene release or as a sibling to it and ensure the sandbox 
codebase stays current with the latest Lucene codebase.
