Howdy folks,

I've been working on some autocomplete stuff for my own personal use. The one
related to this project is listing targets in an ant build file. I'm familiar
with `ant -p build.xml`, but it prints out annoying headers, etc etc and I'd
like something I could pipe to other scripts (similar to how `ls` works, for
example). Right now I'm doing this:

# Currently returns all Main Targets, but no Other Targets.
ant -p -debug build.xml | sed -nE 's/^\\s(\\S+)\\s\\s+\\S+.*$/\1/p'

but without the description info for Other Targets, I can't come up with a good
regex to select those as well. If you point me at where this sort of thing
might be implemented, I'd be happy to take a stab at it myself.

Thanks!
-Kyle
