What do you need these jar's for: if you have custom
ant tasks defined there you can use classpath related
attributes of <taskdef>; if you use them to start java
classes (from their main() method) or compile your
source code you can use classpath related attribute of
<java> and <javac>.

P.S. You can placed them in ${user.home}/lib - no need
to write a wrapper.
P.P.S. If you sit on unix machine you can create an
alias for ant command:
alias ant="ant -lib your_lib_dir" - again no need to
write a wrapper
