Sounds like a reasonable addition. One would probably want to do
${} replacement on text nested into <echo> then, right?

Conor has some stuff in his "unfinished works" that would allow any
task to be called in a different thread than the main build
process. I'm not sure whether Ant would keep running while one thread
in the same JVM is waiting on Runtime.exec to finish on all OS's - but
this could probably be the solution.
