Subject: A new Ant task

I am completing coding of an Ant task that integrates nicely with the 
Cocoon Bean. Its features include:

1) It shares the cli.xconf interpreting code with Main.java (the CLI)
2) The xconf configuration can be embedded into your Ant build script, 
and variable substitution can happen wherever you want.
3) You can either supply a classpath to the Cocoon task, or it will 
implicitly derive one from the context directory provided.

I propose to commit it to CVS as a separate (very small) block. That 
way, a single jar file will be created, with that being all that must be 
referenced within the Ant <taskdef> node.

Does creating a separate block seem the best way, or should it just be 
in the bean package?
