Your installation procedure could then add the
appropriate -lib setting(s) to ANT_ARGS on Windows or
into ~/.antrc on Un*x.

You can supply antlibs in different jars (or dirs)
with the same resource path and they will all be
loaded into the same ns.

Maybe we could create a magic property to auto-alias
namespaces as if they were specified on the project

ANT_ARGS (or ANT_OPTS if needed).
