Carol Frampton commented on FLEX-35:
------------------------------------
As much as I'd like to leave this dependency I also saw many people struggling
with it (it would of course help to read the README). I have a feeling
mustella also has a dependency on this so just fixing this file may not remove
the dependency for long. At a min, or at least in the short-term, a better
error message would be nice.

> the modules/downloads.xml Ant build script is relying on a contrib library
> for performing some trivial tasks. I suggest removing this dependency because
