Where to specify the version numbers

[Russel Winder-4]

Václav decided to move from using the Ant-ish mechanism of
build.properties to using the more Gradle-ish mechanism of
gradle.properties for specifying the versions of things.  I have now
removed all the Ant-ish stuff so there is no doubt as to what is going
on.

Hans has made an empassioned statement that even using gradle.properties
is a bad idea and that the version should be presented explicitly and
directly only in the build.gradle file.

In the end it is Václav's decision, but I am sure he would want us all
to be happy :-)

I have problems with the flexibility of the Gradle way of doing things,
but Hans is right the Ant-ish way is more complicated.

Do we want to dispense with using the gradle.properties file?

This should of course have gone to the GPars dev list, I have no idea
how it got here.  Apologies for the noise to the Gradle Devs.
