This may be the heart of the problem. Some people see Ant as
problematic because it isn't the standard build tool used for Postgres.
Others see make as problematic because it isn't a standard for
building java applications (although I know of as many java apps built
with make as with Ant personally). But the jdbc driver for postgres is
both a postgres component and in java.
