Actually, it's not as simple as I thought. For Ant 1.5.3 (the version 
I use) you need to have junit.jar and optional.jar in the Ant lib 
directory OR have them BOTH in the classpath OR reference both of 
them via a classpath element. However, you can't mix and match; e.g. 
you can't put optional.jar in the lib directory and junit.jar in the 
classpath.

My inclination is to remove junit.jar from the XOM distro entirely 
and require it to be gotten at the same time one downloads 
optional.jar since I don't bundle ant currently. The alternative is 
bundling optional.jar and junit.jar, but that makes the distro even 
bigger, and may conflict with existing ant installations. Thoughts?
