A couple more things: * the installation script copies MS DOS batch scripts to $out/bin, which we could do without. * there are many launcher scripts for Ant: bash scripts, perl scripts, Python scripts ... Does ant-minimal need to get perl and python as inputs or can we do without these additional dependencies? * to use Ant without problems ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME really should be set appropriately (ANT_HOME to $out of the ant-minimal package, JAVA_HOME to $out of icedtea6). Should I suggest these two paths as search paths by adding something like this to ant-minimal (for ANT_HOME) and icedtea6 (for JAVA_HOME)?
