From example/3x6/build.xml:

	<fileset dir="../../${libdir}">
          <include name="*.jar"/>
        </fileset>

This is the usual approach: you put all your jars in a lib directory,
and then include all of them as above.  Many people use $ANT_HOME/lib
for this purpose.  I generally use $HOME/lib for personal stuff,
and $HOME/$PROJECT/lib and $HOME/$PROJECT/target/lib for projects like
JXCL.

I would think that setting
	includeAntRuntime="yes"
would do what you want, but it doesn't appear to.  I will look into
this.
