[jboss-dev] AS Build Merge build.xml with build-dist.xml

[Paul Gier]

Hmm, looks like the reason for the separation is because of the use of 
libraries.ent.  Since that must be generated before the build script is loaded 
it has to be generated by build.xml and then imported and used by build-dist.xml.

So I'll have to wait until I remove the dependency on the thirdparty 
libraries.ent from the distribution build.  Once that is done, then I can merge 
the two together.
