Y'know, I personally think this *very clever* hack around a major
limitation of ant is just further fuel for my argument that
there should be an <if> and a <foreach> tag.
Explain to me how:
<property name="Is.{$os.name}" value="true"/>
and then later doing <.... if "Is.solaris">
is *descriptive* while
<if property="${os.name" value="solaris" op="=="/>
or some such syntax isn't?
Things that make you go Hmmmmmmm....
