Ok with me

Nothing against that. But the problem is to specify where to load the
classes from.
Thats why you have to have a <typedef classpath/> if the jar isnt on
Ants locations.

Im not a friend of writing long strings equal to multiple places ....
What about    
    <project xmlns:ac="...">
        <typedef xmlns="ac" ...>       xmlns instead of your antlib
attribute.
