Perhaps best explained by example:
<cvs repository="working-dogs" dir="town" />
<cvs repository="working-dogs" dir="external"/>
The cvsroot for these two differ only by the last directory element.
Supporting this reduces the proliferation of repositories. Longer term, I
would like to see the elements of a cvs repository separated out, for
example:
<root>
<method>pserver</method>
<user>anoncvs</user>
<password>anoncvs</password>
<hostname>jakarta.apache.org</hostname>
<path>/home/cvspublic</path>
</root>
This would enable a workspace to override specific portions of the CVSROOT
without overriding all.

For now, I simply spelled "build" as "ant" and nested any ant specific
elements under it. I do however support "script" as an alternative, which
I use for bootstrapping ant.

I've been hoping that multiple people could use the project definitions I
produce, so I've tried to keep absolute paths should only exist in the
workspace. (Of course, at the moment, people seem to want to reuse my
workspace definition too, so I need to do more factoring like the
repository changes suggested above).
