I would say that there's alot of value in what neologic is trying to
do...if this feature doesn't work the way he outlined, maybe it
should...IMHO

No, I can just suggest the "right" way to do that :-)
<property environment="MYENV"/>
<property name="built" value="${MYENV.targetroot}"/>
<property name="src" value="${MYENV.srcroot}"/>
<property file="..:"/> is only meant to read "static" definitions from
the
property file.
