we use a trick (see the Makefile.in), where we do:

(line #119):

# a workaround to allow using the same Makefile under both Unix and NT
ifeq (${OS},Windows_NT)
        PS:=;
else
        PS:=:
endif

and then use ${PS} everywhere we need to separate path-elements.

i'd suggest we do a release with ANT if we're going to standardise on ANT 
in classpathx projects.  if not, i'd rather wait and have a common 'way' 
for building; ie. make with ANT as an alternative.

if any other project/team-leader is willing to adopt ANT, i'm happy to help 
so we can harmonise the use of ANT across multiple projects.
