 Scripting with Jython Instead of XML
Subject:  Jython instad of Ant

I like the idea of using jython instead of ant for build scripts. Ant is too clumsy, and missing too many scripty things (like conditionals and iterators).

On the other hand, I like that ant makes it easy to set up dependencies between targets. Using jysthin, it sems like I'd have to actually code in the dependencies into each method. Maybe we could write a jython/ant hybrid system.
