Great. Any experiences with Windows?

Yes, you're right here. My intention for only *one* lib directory was
my hope to keep the distribution as small as possible. Therefore I
checked the compatibility of both packages (HTML & PDF). If it is
necessary to split the library directory in the future because of
incompatibility then we can do this. Right now I don't see the necessary
to do this. But you've commit access - if the current structure doesn't
match your needs then simply modify it. My work was just the starting
shot for the ODP.

No, I don't think this is possible with Ant.
