[TRANSIT] removing tool dependencies on magic

With things looking reasonably good with the distribution package I'm going
to do some updates to the Transit group to try and remove the tool
dependency on Magic.  In principal this should remove the two phase build
process and make the transit distribution easier to understand.

This is likely to involve:

  1. using pure ant to build transit
  2. including ant plugin generation logic out of magic and
     into transit 
  3. moving magic-bootstrap logic out of magic and back to 
     transit and a simple translit antlib

More on this later today after I've playing around with things locally.

Cheers, Steve.
