Indeed.  :-)  Would be best to get rid of them.

By launcher scripts, do you mean the =E2=80=98ant=E2=80=99 command?  I supp=
ose it=E2=80=99s
enough to have one of them, and the Bash version is probably the one
with the smallest disk space footprint, no?

Since Ant is generally used via the =E2=80=98ant=E2=80=99 command (AIUI), w=
hat about
wrapping that command so that ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME are set
appropriately?

Thanks,
