I am thinking of adding:
<project xmlns:ac="antlib:net.sf.antcontrib">
<typedef antlib="antlib:net.sf.antcontrib"
classpath="${PATH_TO_ANTCONTRIB.JAR}"/>
which would be equilivent to
<typedef uri="antlib:net.sf.antcontrib"
resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml"
classpath="${PATH_TO_ANTCONTRIB.JAR}"/>
