Crap. We need Ant 1.7 for this and there's no guarantee that any given hudson box as 1.7 installed. Reverting w/ TODO markers for later.

> The current *.zip.MD5 files contain ONLY the m5dsum, and no EOL character.
> 8414b9bcdb4ed46639e4fa3d9f36731e
> So, to check a sum, users must do this:
> $ md5sum JBossTools-ALL-linux-gtk-3.0.0.CR2-R200901280154.zip
> 8414b9bcdb4ed46639e4fa3d9f36731e  JBossTools-ALL-linux-gtk-3.0.0.CR2-R200901280154.zip
> then manually compare the generated hash with the published one.
> If they contained both the hash and the filename, then users could run this:
> $ cat JBossTools-ALL-linux-gtk-3.0.0.CR2-R200901280154.zip.MD5
> 8414b9bcdb4ed46639e4fa3d9f36731e  JBossTools-ALL-linux-gtk-3.0.0.CR2-R200901280154.zip
> $  md5sum -c JBossTools-ALL-linux-gtk-3.0.0.CR2-R200901280154.zip.MD5 
> JBossTools-ALL-linux-gtk-3.0.0.CR2-R200901280154.zip: OK
> and would know immediately if the hash matched, without having to manually diff them.
