configure finds ant (screensaver)

Francisco Canedo (fcanedo at soneramail nospam nl) reports a bug with a severity of 3
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
configure finds ant (screensaver)

Long Description
configure finds the path to the 'ant' screensaver when it's trying to find the jdbc build tool. This leads to some weird error message during build!

I would suggest to have configure check the version of ant if at all possible.

If you type:

$ ant -version
$ echo $?

What do you get? I want to add a configure test and java ANT likes the
-version flag.

On some systems ant is installed as jakarta-ant because of this conflict,
so maybe we should check for that, too.

I've checked in a change that checks for jakarta-ant before ant (that
seems to be the popular alternative name in case of conflict), and also
runs a little test compile with ant to see if it works.

Great! Thanks.
