Hi Andrew,

dependency management would be the next step. How fast it will come will
depend from my side if I have a customer interested in this feature or
if I implement it in my free time. I imagine that 80% of the dependency
configuration could be handled very easily with some conventions (for
instance using special names for some Ant properties).

Update: a former client for which I implemented a slightly modified
version of this feature to run tests in parallel (particularly with a
small dependency management) just notified me that they finally used it
with even better results than expected: using 8 worker threads the tests
execution time has been cut down by more than 75% (~1 1/2 hours compared
to ~6 hours).

Cheers,
Marc.
