I can certainly see that this is reasonable and would
be fine if this convention were chosen. As you
circumspectly indicate, *-test.xml is no more
cumbersome than *Test.java (the mandatory suffix just
seems superfluous to me personally, hence my proposed
includes/excludes scheme).

This chicken-and-egg issue was discussed before; I am
unfortunately too lazy to go find it in the archives,
but the answer was that Ant does not bootstrap antunit
to run its own tests; rather a built antunit is used
with Ant in pretty much the same way junit is. IOW,
just drop an antunit jar into ant/lib and away we go.
Acceptable?
