I discovered that ant in /opt/local/bin was actually a symlink to the real
location inside the bin directory of /opt/local/share/java/apache-ant,
which I think is the default ant on OSX.
/opt/local/share/java/apache-ant/lib is still not writable without
privilege escalation, for some reason, but at least the surrounding files
look more appropriate for a full installation of Ant.

I've almost made it through now, I think. I just need to get all of the
environment variables correct for the unit tests.
