Ok, Here is the <case> taks I proposed in my previous e-mail.
It provides a declarative way to set properties based on the value of others:
 

<case property="prop.name" >
  <when value="value1" property="prop.name.value1" />
  <when value="value2" property="prop.name.value2" />
  <else property="prop.name.noneoftheabove" value="none" />
</case>

<else> is optional and its value attribute is optional and defaults to "true".
 
Hope this can be added to 1.2 as to have all the basic functionality right there in core.
