You could try to "redefine" the junit-task using something like
<taskdef name="junit"
classname="org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.JUnitTask">
<classpath>
<fileset dir="./lib">
<include name="junit.jar"/>
</fileset>
</classpath>
</taskdef>
Don't know if this works (and if I have made some errors above) - just try
it.
