Yeah it definitely doesn't work. It gets even better... If I try to do
something after the <taskdef> - for example <ant-contrib:var name =
"FOO" unset = "true"/> I get this kind of error:

/home/rdu/sfloess/development/test/ant2/build.xml:2: The following error
occurred while executing this line:
/home/rdu/sfloess/development/test/ant2/third-party.xml:45: The prefix
"ant-contrib" for element "ant-contrib:var" is not bound.
