  Probably caused because /usr/bin/python is just a symlink to
/usr/bin/python2.5.exe, which can't be launched by a windows process like Ant;
the easier solution if so would be to tell ANT to execute "python2.5.exe"
directly, instead of just plain "python", in the <exec executable=../> tag.

    cheers,
