Right, and Ant, IMO, is a special case:  In Ant 1.7.x we gave higher =
prominence to Ant's Resource type and refactored damned near everything =
to use Resources/ResourceCollections.  Because VFS provides a =
compatibility layer for *older* versions of Ant, I would suggest the =
minimum Ant version be left as early as possible, until, of course, the =
Ant compatibility APIs are rewritten to implement Ant =
Resources/ResourceCollections.  Maybe that will happen in VFS 3.0; I =
don't know that I would have the time to do it now.  :/
