This could be quite useful. E.g. the NetBeans IDE uses

http://www.netbeans.org/download/dev/javadoc/org-apache-tools-ant-module/org/apache/tools/ant/module/spi/AutomaticExtraClasspathProvider.html

from the module bundling junit.jar in order to force it to be added to Ant's
primary classpath. Even though the build scripts that the IDE generates will
have an explicit path for junit.jar - which is used e.g. when compiling unit
tests - it cannot currently run <junit> unless this has been done. A patch such
as is described here would make it possible to do omit junit.jar from Ant's
primary classpath, and would mean that a command-line build incl. unit testing
would succeed so long as the path was set up correctly, without requiring the
user to run Ant with junit.jar in $CLASSPATH (or ant/lib/ or whatever).
