While I'm at it, I'll make a suggestion or two below...

Ant already has a ${basedir} - seems confusing to make up your own for such
purposes.  I don't quite know what all you're refactoring, I just thought
I'd mention the potential confusion I see.

But on a different point, how about using 'location' instead of 'value' for
<property> when setting properties that refer to directories or files?  The
nice thing about that is that it resolves the property to be the absolute
path to the file/directory making it much more pleasant to send to other
build files that don't know the relative position and such.
