I've just sent a pull request that changes the build system to Gradle. If you're not familiar with this system, this short video does a good job of showing how easy it is to get started:

There are a number of reasons to make the switch:
1) Gradle is easy - for reals!
2) No XML
3) Pure Groovy
4) Excellent documentation: http://gradle.org/
5) There's a company behind this software and it's getting updated regularly.
6) There's a growing community behind this system.
7) The new build system works almost identically to the old one in terms of output directory layout.
8) The project structure was not changed (although some files made obsolete were removed).
9) We can take advantage of Maven repositories without having to use Maven.
10) First-class IDE support. Import projects into Eclipse, IntelliJ, or Netbeans.
There is one downside:
1) You'll need to install Gradle:
http://gradle.org/installation
Fortunately, this is as easy as installing Ant.
