new features I would like in 1.6.

1) import task to import in-line
    at the moment, it imports at the end of the build file, thus
    messing up order for top level defines.
2) ability to have custom conditions - see bugzilla 17199  :-)
3) add if and unless attributes for some tasks
    e.g. in <exec> one can set os = whatever to enable
    running this task. But normally one would have set a property
    that would have depended on more conditions than the os.

post 1.6
4) move cpptasks from ant-contrib  to main-line ant, in the optional
    tasks area
