OK, so the problem is that sed on Solaris does not process lines that
don't end with a newline. So if I add a '\n' to the printf statement
that's piped to sed, on line 49, then it works on Solaris. I don't
know if that breaks other platforms of course. See patch below:

Then at least 'ant -version' works on Solaris.
