Of course, the SEAM_HOME environment variable is still supported. Just
not a requirement. Oh, and I forgot to mention that now you can
override everything using -D flags also. You can override:

- the location of seam-gen using -Dseam-gen.dir
- the location of the seam-gen properties using -Dseam-gen.properties
- the location of just the templates using -Dtemplates.dir

Yes, perhaps obscure to have to type -D but then again, that is the
idea of -D ;) Power.

But of course! It is just a hint that "oh, btw, you are in the project
directory so you know you have the Ant script right there. Who knows
if people will actually notice it.
