I would advise against this. Such builds won't work outside of Eclipse
and users who are not using Eclipse will suffer from that.
It is responsibility of the owner of build.xml to explicitly register
required Ant tasks.
Besides, that will also force users to stick to specific version of
SvnTask that is being installed in their Eclipse.
