No, it means that you have something extra: a prebuilt version of ant.  ;-)

I sure hope that gump's build.xml doesn't ever rely on new features that 
are added to ant...

Works for me on linux, fails on windows.  Here's the -verbose output:

exec-scripts:
      [exec] Current OS is Windows XP
      [exec] Executing 'cmd.exe' with arguments:
      [exec] 'puball.bat'
      [exec] '../rubypad.xml'
      [exec]
      [exec] The ' characters around the executable and arguments are
      [exec] not part of the command.
      [exec] 'ubypad.xml' is not recognized as an internal or external 
command,
      [exec] operable program or batch file.
      [exec] Result: 1

This doesn't make any sense to me...

... cool!  And since I always bootstrap and then use the latest version 
of ant, this won't cause me any problems.  ;-)
