-1 for as well. As others have pointed out you can do this outside of ant. This really breaks the "keep it simple" rule. If you want this functionality then wrap ant in a script which does it. People can contribute an sh, bat script which can live in /contrib if they really want the fint build.xml file. But get rid of it from the ant core.
