This is fine as long as it doesn't require absolute paths. I'd like to be 
able to move clusters around without having to recode the xace file. Relying 
on environment variables to specify the root of a path is ok but not perfect 
because it is another thing a user has to set to get a library working.

Ant is traditionally used by executing from the directory where the .ant 
file resides. Therefore every path can be relative. The geant files I have 
seen so far (from GOBO) seem to rely more on absolute paths with an 
environment variable specifying the root.

I prefer the current solution (name concatenation). But if the ISE nested 
cluster syntax was used then name clashes could again occur unless the 
concatenation was used as well. Needs some thought...
