Interesting. Just for the purposes of communication, the Ant that Gump run is 
called with build.sysclasspath=only, so really ought override any 'twiddling' 
that a task attempts. I can't gaurantee this (hence I'll CC the Gump list), but 
I'd bet heavily on it. In short, Gump pretty much overrides (with Ant's 
colaboration) local settings with it's settings. [See: 
http://ant.apache.org/manual/sysclasspath.html]

That said, there definately seems to be some classes not being found, that are 
found when on JDK1.4 w/ exactly the same Gump. So .. something odd is 
happening...
