Why not get a USB flash drive and install Ant on that? That way, if you go to a PC without Ant, you can simply insert your USB flash drive into the PC and run Ant from there. I do that with the Apache web server.
Another possibility is to install Ant into your Subversion project. When you checkout the project, you will be checking out an installed version of Ant. Your method of installing individual JAR files for Ant and then running a customized Ant script isn't really saving you any time, effort, or even that much room on your disk;. By the time you install the individual files you need for Ant, and get them up and running, you could have easily downloaded and unzipped the whole Ant archive.
