In this case, it's probably not /too/ dreadful a solution
to just remove those type= attributes.

However, that said, I'm wondering if we should just say
`For BioJava 1.3 you need ANT 1.5 or later'.  I've never had
any problems when upgrading from one version of ANT to another --
I'd be curious to know if anyone out there has had trouble.
