Re: "e; in a property ${}

[khperkins]

Yes this should work although is not needed in either in the specifying 
of the executable attribute of <exec> task or the value attribute of the 
<arg> task, spaces are dealt with for both these attributes and puoting 
is not needed.

see the example here http://ant.apache.org/manual/using.html#arg for 
functionality of <arg value=""/>
and examples here http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/exec.html which 
shows use of properies with spaces.
