This is why we have the bootstrap-ant project.  This one only depends
on a pre-installed JAXP (which shouldn't be necessary any longer, now
that we are all running JDK 1.4).

xml-commons depends on this bootstrapped version.  jakarta-ant in turn
depends on bootstrap-ant and xml-commons and this is the version of
Ant all (well, most) other projects depend upon.
