I just spent hours trying to get started with a build process on a fairly large web app (about 8 minutes per run). I'm running `ant basics` as I don't need/want the html minification. The docs say this:

same as build minus the basic html minfication

Additionally, during the build process it says this:

-usemin:
[echo] Switching to minified js files...
[echo] Kill off those versioning flags: ?v=2
[echo] Remove favicon.ico reference if it is pointing to the root
[echo] Update the HTML to reference our concatenated script file: js/4915cd2.js
[echo] Updating the HTML with the new css filename: styles/bae6ead.css

despite that, I never saw any changes in my html (actually .jspx) files. I tried on the h5bp source itself, and turns out that `ant build` is doing all of the above, while `ant basics` isn't doing any of it.
