Jason, I work in a number of ways :-)
I use multiple command lines in separate windows, one of which I generally leave at the location of the build file. I run builds from this window. I use an editor which can launch commands (i.e. ant) relative to the location of a "project" file. These files live in the same location as my build files. We have a number of sub-builds with different names. I invoke many of these with -f. The main build.xml file does a full (i.e. slow) build.
