[Anthill] Looking for commons Execute source code

[Daniel Hannum]

I am using an external Ant install because I found a bug where the version
shipped with Anthill OS (1.6.2, I believe) would not recognize the TestNG
task, even though I put the <taskdef> in my build script. The latest from
Ant is 1.6.5 and the TestNG task always worked for me outside of Anthill, so
I switched Anthill over to use my Ant install. That fixed my original
problem, and caused another one...

I'll try dropping your Ant.bat over the one from the Ant folks and see what
happens.

Thanks
