[Webtest] Support for Ant 1.6

[Paul Kavanagh]

Ok so I fixed it myself :-)

Here's the solution that worked for me, in case someone's still stuck on =
it:

Add the following block to the beginning of addTask(..) in =
TestStepSequence.java:

public void addTask(Task task) {
    if (task instanceof UnknownElement) {
      task.maybeConfigure();
      task =3D ((UnknownElement) task).getTask();
    }
     //rest of the class stays the same
}

Build a new webtest.jar. You then need to remove ant.jar and =
antrunner.jar from the lib directory and you should be all set. It =
looked like it was a multiple classloader issue or something like that.

Thanks,
-Paul
