actually, it's not a typo. i was just trying to avoid posting the entire
file. the following excerpts should explain. i originally thought the
antcall statement might affect properties, but if i echo "builddir" from the
init2 target, it is still properly set. it doesn't become undefined until
the "bl" target is reached.
<target name="init">
...
<antcall target="init2"/>
</target>
<target name="init2" depends="init_pl,init_bl,init_other">
...
</target>

is this a typo ? ^^^^ (init_bl?)
