That same ant manual page also suggests you may not be able to execute
ant.bat directly. So perhaps we've been lucky it works under cygwin
and the target needs to get modified to something like
<exec executable="cmd" dir="${docs.root}>
<arg value="/c"/>
<arg value="ant.bat"/>
<arg value="-p"/>
</exec>
