Or you can use XSLT.
The issues with that are:

 1) Ant doesn't currently send the build.xml through an XSLT processor.
    You either need to hack ant, put a wrapper around ant, or rebuilt your build.xml from the input and stylesheet each time one changes.

 2) I had some unresolved namespace issues when using Xalan-1 and Xerces-J to create my build.xml.
   But I only spent an hour or so on it, so it's probably solvable.

 3) You need to learn XSLT.

 4) XSLT is ugly.
