It is not good practice to use <antcall>.
The normal way is just to have the target in the dependence
list as normal, and use the if to stop it executing.
<project ..>
..
<available file="CVS/cvsArt.xml" property="antAvailable"/>
..
<target name="mytarget" if="artAvailable">
.. do somthing with artAvail..
</target>
