In that case I would also REALLY appreciate the following:
ant.project.tasks.dependencies --> The dependencies of a task
ant.currenttask.parent --> The parent (caller) of the current task
That would reduce the size of my build.xml by 50% !

Just thinking, perhaps a Document Object Model would be nice for Ant :-) Then
you could have properties like:
ant.project --> The current project
ant.project.name --> The name of the current project
ant.project.tasks --> All tasks in the current project
ant.currenttask --> The current task
ant.currenttask.name --> The name of the current task
ant.currenttask.description --> The description of the current task
:
This would be similar to the approach used in HTML (JavaScript/VBscript)
Some of these properties are currently already available as 'magic
properties'.
