<depend> gets turned into a nested <property> element automagically.
If you do the same for <option>, you must verify whether a given
optional dependency has been met in build.sh/bat and only add the
property to the Ant command line if true.

I don't think I could do that in .bat ...

But then again, I don't think anybody would need it anyway.

We are already fooling xtags by passing xerces as crimson.jar - it
insists on copying those files around (as do several other taglibs).
