A) Modify ant's environment to cause it to find the 1.4 commands first.
Modifying PATH should suffice. See the 'env' command, or 'man env'.
B) Modify ant to accept a -1.4 arg.
The following shows what 'ant' is:
file `which ant`
and reapplying 'file' to the symlink shows it's a shell script.
So it should be just a small matter of programming to change the ant script
to accept another arg that specifies which version to use from the
JavaVM.framework.
C) Create a different version, called 'ant14'.
Using either A or B above, make a copy of the current ant and modify it,
placing it in a bin dir used by your build system. This would be to avoid
problems caused by having non-standard ant versions.
