When trying to access the server manually it tells me I need to use TLS
for the control channel, which unfortuantely is not supported by
java.net.URL. I found https://netrexx.org/downloads.nsp which provides
downloads via https, so I modified the fetch.xml setup in master with
https://github.com/apache/ant/commit/541a1d2448af3e95134f79a970a608403deab00a

I picked the really old 2.05 as this is claimed to be the latest IBM
release. Right now I lack the cylces to check whether Ant's NetRexx
support - which probably hasn't been touched in more than a decade - would
work with more recent releases.
