err ... it was actually defined close to a year ago. You just went and
redefined it to mean a dynamic templating system. IIRC you even thought it
was a good idea to make build files self-modifying.
The original purpose of projectref (and import before that) was to allow one
project file to refer to another so that cross build file DAGs could be
built. The case we were given as an example was allowing catalina to refer to
jasper and make sure it was up to date.
The idea of a templating language in the core of ant has been -1'ed already
if you recall so something like you describe will never make it except as a
preprocessing stage while building project from ProjectBuilder. Even then it
will not be hosted at Apache.
