I have ant 1.5 already.
----
$ ant -version
Apache Ant version 1.5 compiled on July 11 2002
----
however, you're right, I don't know that it's working, because I don't really
use it. I do know, however, that it's installed from a debian package (from
"unstable"), so I consider that some reason to think that it's working. If
you want me to run a quick test case I will.

When I run "./configure --with-java" I get:
----
checking whether /usr/bin/ant works... no
configure: error: ant does not work

Yeah, I suppose I did something wrong the first time. I seem to remember going
through most of the same steps, however.
