For the record, buildnumber's functionality can be replicated by the use of two tasks, available from CVS (according to the docs):
<propertyfile file="foo.properties">
<entry key="build.number" type="int" operation="+" />
</propertyfile>
<property file="foo.properties" />
I haven't tested this replacement, as CVS is a royal pain from my current workstation, but this is what the docs indicate.

Bring up index.html via CVS to see the latest version:
http://jakarta.apache.org/cvsweb/index.cgi/jakarta-ant/docs/
(Click on the version number, then on "(as text)" to bring it up in its
formatted state.)
Click on the "Optional Tasks" link, then on "PropertyFile" -- you'll see
there is functionality to increment (as well as decrement) a number.
(Didn't mean to shoot down your first task contribution, just wanted to
point you to what's already there. If you have improvements you can make
to it, those are always welcome.)
