Yeah, I though about something like that, but I've also realised that
it's probably better to stick with the ruby interpreter and bridge to
java when needed rather than viceversa. I may be wrong, of course.

Apart from the pleasure of working with ruby, if there was a make for
groovy, with real file dependencies, I would have probably chosen that
(ant task can be very easily called in groovy).
