How about looking at the problem another way and extracting out
the common code into a subtarget to which you can pass a parameter
using the antcall task. Something along the lines of the following ...
<target name="BuildEnvironmentPkg.make" >
<exec executable="msdev.exe">
<env key="CL" value="${MsdevDefines}" />
<arg line="${basedir}/Code/EnvironmentPkg/EnvironmentPkg.dsw /MAKE
'${envName} - Win32 ${BuildConfig}'" />
</exec>
</target>
<target name="BuildEnvironmentPkg" depends="Init" if="BuildConfig" >
<antcall target="BuildEnvironmentPkg.make">
<param name="envName" value="'Environment" />
</antcall>
<antcall target="BuildEnvironmentPkg.make">
<param name="envName" value="'EnvironmentAutoTest" />
</antcall>
</target>

Subject: Setting envrionment variables from within build.xml
I was wondering if there's any way in Ant to set an environment variable
once before a series of <exec> tasks. Consider the snippet of build.xml
below that is used to set the environment variable 'CL' before executing
the command line compiler 'msdev.exe'. This XML works, but is an error
prone maintenace headache because the nested element <env> must be
repeatedly used. Is there any way around this, such that I can set the
environment variable 'CL' once before multiple <exec>'s?
