Yup.  I kinda figured that tools/lib/scriptlib/ sould be a good place to instruct the Ant user to
place bsf.jar, js.jar, netrexx.jar (etc).  Some fileset based classload of those jars in addition
to the user chosen classes (to be invoked from the script language) would be the best thing.

Not sure ... Sam Ruby - do you know the answer to this?

But would not allow interaction with the ant project (re .addTask() in the <script> examples).

Indeed.
