Summary: if attribute on target should control dependencies as well
Initial Comment:
If the "if" attribute of a target evaluates to false it
will not be executed but all its depedencies will. The
dependencies should also be skipped.

I'm pretty sure this is "by design", and I think Ant also has
the same behavior.
The reason is that you might want to determine whether a
given target should be executed, in one of its dependencies.
eg.
<target name="build" depends="check-uptodate" unless="${is-
uptodate}">
...
</target>
<target name="check-uptodate">
<!-- dependending on whether output is up-to-date, set
property to true or false -->
<property name="is-uptodate" value="true" />
</target>
I'll double-check this later (but not today, I think)
