Actually, maybe "ant update-head" could replace "ant use-ptolemy-head"?
I'll never remember "ant use-ptolemy-head".  This also means that
"ant update" gets the non-head version of Ptolemy and "ant use-ptolemy-head"
then gets the head.  This will be a small problem for me when I'm 
connected via modem later this summer.

How are "ant use-stable-ptolemy" and "ant update" different?


Below is the output of ant:


     [exec]  use-ptolemy-head       Update Ptolemy so that the head of ptolemy
is used.
     [exec]  use-stable-ptolemy     Update Ptolemy so that stablalized ptolemy
revision is used.
     [exec]  validate-ptolemy       Tests the current version of Kepler against
the current version of Ptolemy and changes the validated ptolemy revision if
appropriate.

I see we now have "ant validate-ptolemy", which looks good, I just tried it.

I think this can be closed if:
1) ant use-stable-ptolemy is changed to ant update-head
2) ant update prints messages about using ant update-head for the 
modules that are not at the head

Optionally, it would be nice if there was a way if "ant update-head"
would update from the head from all the modules, instead of how
"ant use-stable-ptolemy" just updates ptolemy.
