Marcio,

Have you had any luck with disabling your email yet? My understanding 
was that it looked like the build was going fine but there was a hang at 
email time.

My (biased) view on Lunt is that it is a reasonable tool. It started 
life as a Anthill clone (you'll note identical variable names passed to 
Ant) with a flashier UI and has done some of its own things more 
recently. Last time I took it out for a spin was a year ago, but I had 
some bugginess issues. Maybe they've cleaned that up.
