[Laszlo-dev] Upgrading some of our build tools

[P T Withington]

Yeah, I just realized I was using an out-of-date ant.

Switching to 1.7 reveals a few incompatibilities in our build files that I will need to clean up.

I like the idea of versioning the jars.  It seems the ones that I am updating are already distributed that way (with their version in the filename).

I think you just volunteered yourself to be a reviewer of this change!  :)
