Matt has fixed Ant's trunk now, the tests in Gump pass.

So I dove in and changed all four of our conditions to no longer
extend concrete Ant conditions.  As Curt suggested in a separate mail
I made them final at the same time.

I realize this is breaking binary compatibility - and may affect
people deriving from our conditions - but don't think this is a real
problem.  After all we still haven't done any 1.0 release, yet 8-)
