I am all for that. > But I don't think allowing an init target has anything to do with "magic" > names...

This seems to be adding complexity without any real benefit. We already have a method for exectuting a target before others (namely depend attribute of target) so I would prefer to use this rather than creating another project property. -- Cheers, Pete -------------------------------------------------- you've made a dangerous leap right over common sense, like some kind of metaphysical Evil Knievel --------------------------------------------------
