Thanks....that helped a bit.

I implemented (and just checked in) a new ant build target "backrest", which will build a self-contained, simple,
standalone distribution of only what is needed to run a remote backup/restore from the command line.  I elected to call
the backup class directly, since the start class is pretty ugly and really is intended for dynamic startup of embedded
eXist instances, not running a simple backup or restore task.

This target creates a zip file that can be copied to remote servers, unzipped, and then used to perform command-line
restores (and backups) locally on the server.

I've tested it on Windoze and Ubuntu Linux platforms and it works like a charm.
