After reading the antlist archive a little better, I found a thread from
January that matched my situation in which Peter showed a way which is much
better. Turns out I was trying to do it backwards. Instead of having my
subproj script be a dependency for my targets, it's much more natural to
have the targets call the script. As Peter suggested:
<target name = "clean">
<antcall target = "call">
<param name = "script.target" value = "clean"/>
</antcall>
</target>
Then all references in the javascript are to "call", instead of the target
I'm trying to pass. Don't know what the heck I was thinking before!
My modified example is included below just to complete the thread - critique
is always welcome.
Thanks.

<target name = "clean">
