I'm midway through adding the smartfrog features to run ant builds

use this to run build files as part of a big deployment, and be able to
dynamically tweak the log levels as you go.
one things I'm worrying about is how to stop long-running builds more
cleanly. I'm thinking of an executor that polls some halt variable
between targets, but that does nothing for tasks. Can/should we add
something to project, so that you can actually interrupt project
execution between tasks? We coudl through a BuildInterruptedException.
What do IDEs do to stop ant builds? just kill the thread/process?
of course, a more devious way would be to implement the check-for-halt
logic in a build listener, so that you can retrofit the halting tests to
an out the box ant1.7.0 release; throw a BuildInterruptedException (that
extends BuildException).
what bad things would happen if I threw a BuildException in a
BuildListener.targetstarted() call?
