If you don't mind the output having [java] in front of each line, you can
use the <java> task to run Ant's Main class with -projecthelp. If you'd
rather have the output not have that, you could use <exec> and capture the
output in the "outputproperty" attribute, then <echo> that property, but
that would also involve platform-dependence. (Then again, I'm not sure
that running 'ant help' is really all that big of a win over just running
'ant -projecthelp')
