On my machine (W2K) the apply.xml test failed. The reason seems to be the line 350ff:
<apply executable="echo" ignoremissing="false" outputproperty="ignorefalse" append="true"> <filelist refid="xyzlist" /> </apply> because "echo" is not an executable on windows - itīs an instruction for the command line interpreter. So I played a little with that and got a good result with <apply executable="cmd.exe" ignoremissing="false" outputproperty="ignorefalse" append="true"> <arg line="/C echo"/> <filelist refid="xyzlist" /> </apply> so I modified the target "ignoremissing" to (see above). Does that work on the *NIX, OS/2, VMS, .... ? What do you think?
