Well, since Diane likes to make sure we're all 100% accurate, I'll just
provide a silly case that breaks this statement:
<property name="foo" value="$${foo}"/>
<echo>foo = ${foo}</echo>
Anyway, as far as this issue goes, I'd be surprised if there was a really
good reason why it returns "${foo}" if its not set - but in Ant 1.x we can't
change it. Ant2 - dunno how it works in myrmidon or mutant - but I suspect
its different than this behavior. It is very strange to get a ${build.dir}
directory created. Actually I think myrmidon throws an exception of the
property isn't set but its referenced (?).
