I asked a while back but no one was able to come up with any other reason 
other than
1. generic targets
2. work around ant "features"/bugs

(1) will allow you to resue same target but pass in different properties each 
time. Effectively treating the target as a method. This will probably go away 
in Ant2.

(2) exists to work around some "features" in ant (Namely prpoerties being 
immutable).

Cheers,

Pete
