You might want to take a look at Rake 
(http://onestepback.org/software/rake for now, I'm in the process of
moving to RubyForge).  

Rake was based on Make rather than Ant, but once you throw away Make's
weird tab syntax and Ant's XML syntax, the underlying functionality
would probably be pretty close. 

Let me know if you are interested in colaborating.
