lent to a hardcoded host ;-)=0D=0A=0D=0A3024 may be addressed later as I ag=

nks and actual files/dirs.  =0D=0AMoreover, as I have commented in bugzilla=

=0D=0Agood workaround (biased as I am), though it hasn't =0D=0Abeen made po=
pular yet - hope Ant does that ;-)  Anyway, =0D=0Aplease give it a try and =
