OK, this doesn't work because of XML's notion of ignorable
whitespace.  We could "fix" that by supporting the xml:space attribute
as described in the XML spec
<http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210#sec-white-space>, but an
easier solution to the specifc problem is:

<echo file="${classes.dir}/properties/release.txt" 
      append="true"
      message="${line.separator}" />

which will always append the "newline" character appropriate for the
current operating system.  Alternatives go along the lines of

<echo file="${classes.dir}/properties/release.txt" 
      append="true"
      message="&#13;&#10;" />

for a carriage-return line-feed sequence.
