Yes. I've left it in there for now, but I've been debating on if we should
remove it completely for 7.1. Personally I think we should, but I didn't want
to hit everyone without fair warning.

It's way more robust. In fact I'm looking at getting configure to detect ant
and get the top level makefile to run it as part of the main build.
Also, our build.xml files also support installation, so "make install" can
install the .jar files into the PG_LIB directory.

Yes. No time for 7.1 for this, but I was thinking of splitting the monolithic
jdbc.sgml file up, as there's a lot of outdated stuff in it, and a lot of
undocumented stuff to go into it.
You haven't seen the stuff I'm donating into /contrib yet ;-)
