Why not=20
   <taskdef file=3D""/>  ???

or with Ant 1.6 and namespaces

   <project xmlns:my=3D"antlib:com.mycompany.tools.ant">
       <my:custom1/>

So you haven=B4t to worry about to ensure that a modified Ant version =
is on
the machine.

I personally would reject modifying a tools only for lazyness :-)
But if you want that, then:
- extract the default.properties from the ant.jar (<unjar>)
- add your lines to that (<concat>, <echo append>)
- update the jar (<jar><zipfileset prefix>)

Maybe you will have problems with updating the jar using Ant because
Ant uses that jar for itself :-)=20
