If I understand this correctly, then the seed XML is a 'meta' build.xml.
If that's the case, then XMLTask may be able to help. It can iterate
over an XML file (of whatever form) and call Ant targets based on the
content/structure of that file.
See http://www.oopsconsultancy.com/software/xmltask, and in particular
the <call> instruction.

Are you defing some XML that contains what want to call and using this
as seed data in the transform to generate the Ant script?
Honestly, I'm not understanding...sorry :(
If you are using it as seed data...can you simply define a macrodef
who has an <element> element you can use to replace inline?

An ant file that calls others. The task is :
<target name="genbuild" depends="init">
<xslt force="yes" style="real-build.xsl" in="dist.xml"
out="real-build.xml"/>
</target>
Here's an extract from the stylesheet:
----
<target name="download" unless="nocvs">
<xsl:for-each select="dist/module">
<xsl:variable name="module" select="@name"/>
<ant antfile="step2-download.xml">
<property name="module">
<xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:value-of select="$module"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</property>
</ant>
</xsl:for-each>
</target>
----
But I'd rather not use an XSL stylesheet at all. I really, really
hate XSL.
Unfortunately, I don't see any other way to do it for now.
