Fair enough. I wasn't aware of the Antlibs subproject, but after some
digging through the site, I found what you are talking about.

Correct.

Yes, Ant is an Apache project, so I didn't expect anything else.

Yep.

Excellent. I do want it get this setup, but since moving things around
the repo is not very patch-friendly, maybe I'll align the structure of
the task project in Cayenne sandbox with one of the existing Antlibs,
like AntUnit, and then ask you to "svn cp".
