I am one of those people and to me it is more confusing to have Ant use German number formatting but say "minutes" instead of "Minuten". (well, would be since I haven't seen builds taking > 1000 minutes myself). When copying files we don't use a number format at all and thus end up with a pure number without any separators at all. I wouldn't expect that too many builds take tens of thousands of minutes so a number with or without thousands separator may be as readable as the other in out case. AFAICT making the thousands separator go away takes the same amount of coding effort as making it use the US locale.
