I'd like to see this in the expanded in <!ENTITY> expansions as well:
<!ENTITY testEntity "${variableToExpand}">
<project .....
<property name="variableToExpand" value="fred"/>
<property name="test" value="&testEntity;"/>
</project>
I realize this may be a limitation with XML parsing....But we need a way
to make up for the lack of a proper include mechanism for creating a
library of build templates, etc.
