Comment 6 for bug 257215

I have verified that it is possible to use fop without ant-optional dependency. So it is just the ant task provided by fop that needs ant-optional.

Let's consider what other options we have.
1. Add ant-optional to recommends of fop.
2. Patch the source package to build the ant task in separate jar, make a separate binary package out of it, call it fop-ant and then add dependency ant-optional to that package.

I prefer 2nd option. Let me know what you guys think.
