Modify Ant. :-)

The main difference is that e.g. <foreach> is implemented in ant-contrib.jar 
which
is not part of Ant. So you have to do
- add the jar to Ants classpath
- taskdef the task

With <ftp> it´s different. The task implementation is part of Ant! So 
- all needed jars have to be added to Ants classpath
  - implementing class is in ANT_HOME/lib/ant-commons-net.jar
  - needed external libs (oro, commons-net)
- the task has to be taskdefs
  - is already done in 
ANT_HOME/lib/ant.jar!org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/default.properties
