Understood, but I want to create a department-wide ant distribution that is augmented with common extension libraries. None of the options you list make this particularly clean and easy to manage.

Ant 1.6 or higher hunts for its jars on three places: ${ant.home}/lib, ${user.home}/.ant/lib and the directory specified by -lib option of ant laumching script. So from Ant 1.6 I do copy no jars in ${ant.home}/lib; instead I place them in ${user.home}/.ant/lib. This ease me when I change ant/jdk version I work with.
