<taskdef> supports nested <classpath>.
But some libraries must be added _before_ Ant starts, like bsf,
commons-logging, rhino or xalan.

So another way would be setting the -lib option by
- your own launcher script
- ~/antrc_pre.bat : set variable ANT_ARGS
http://ant.apache.org/manual/running.html#files

You could also place your libs in ~/.ant/lib
