I would like to add to Ant the possibility to define custom command line 
options.

This is motivated by the experiment I am doing with the AntDSL and the import 
model I am trying to revisit (if anybody is interested, at some point I will 
probably discuss it on easyant-dev, but we can also discuss here). I want 
things to happen before the build file is being parsed and I want it to happen 
only if the end user has requested it.

I have not committed it because it is a kind of important door opening in Ant's 
API. And it is only required by an experiment. EasyAnt has some custom 
arguments too, it could benefit from it, but for now it has it own "main" 
implementation and so has a full control of argument parsing. So there is no 
real use case. yet :)

So I would like some feed back before proceeding. The suggested patch is here:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ant/sandbox/antdsl/branches/import-experiment/argument-processor.patch
