I found yet another reason to bite the bullet and depend on Ant-1.6.2+ instead
of 1.5.x.  I made some changes to my build so that as optional VFS dependencies
are downloaded, I redefine the VFS tasks so that the next optional dependency to
download can take advantage of the most recent downloaded optional dependency. 
For instance, if I download commons-collections, I can then re-define the task
with commons-collections now in the classpath so that the next dependency can
take advantage of the LRU cache, and so on....  So, I tried this and I got
(partial stack track after doing ant -debug)...

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.commons.vfs.tasks.VfsTask$VfsRef
        at org.apache.commons.vfs.tasks.VfsTask.resolveFile(VfsTask.java:64)
        at

        at org.apache.tools.ant.Task.perform(Task.java:364)
        at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Sequential.execute(Sequential.java:64)

However, when I revert back to the previous version of VfsTask.java and apply my
patch, everything works like clockwork.  No errors or anything.  Can we, pretty
please, just require Ant-1.6.2.  The patch is deadpan simple, it actually works
 in all cases (try it if you have doubts), and if people are still using
Ant-1.5, they are living in the dark ages anyway.  The current solution is brittle.

BTW, is commons-httpclient now *not* an optional dependency?  I used to be able
to only need commons-logging and commons-vfs in the classpath in order to have
basic rudimentary downloading capability using simple http to grab a file.  Now,
if I don't have commons-httpclient in the classpath before using <vfs:copy>, I
get this...

        at org.apache.tools.ant.Task.perform(Task.java:364)
        at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Sequential.execute(Sequential.java:64)


Can we move back to making it optional?  At a minimum, the optional dependencies
page needs updating, but I'd much rather simply keep httpclient optional.

Thanks,

Jake
