Package WordNet

Currently users are expected to supply their own copy of WordNet.  It would be more
convenient if we could package WordNet so that the integration is seamless.  The WordNet
licence appears to permit such use and redistribution.  However, the extJWNL library
we use requires a configuration file where the path to the WordNet installation is
specified.  Richard says we can write an Ant script to fetch WordNet and dynamically
generate the configuration file containing the correct path.  This is mostly Greek
to me as I don't know anything about Ant.

One issue we may need to address: How do we handle the fact that there are seven different
published versions of WordNet (1.6, 1.7. 1.7.1, 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, and 3.1) plus at least
one more which was never officially published but is used in a popular Senseval task
(1.7pre)?  Each version is about 40 MB in size.

Recent versions of extJWNL package WordNet 3.1, so perhaps this could be used as a default.
