I'm very interested in trying to make Ozone easier to use for
developers. Going to ant is great and I believe the whole proxy
generation can be made a bit easier as this is the area I had the most
problem with. I'd be glad to do some coding as well if necessary.
I remember seeing a thread and some code for an OPPTask and the
discussion of the build directory but I'm not sure what thread that was.
