i can't answer that for you, but an nicer workaround would be for you to
keep all your
private targets in another .xml file, and treat it as a subproject.
Then keep all your
public targets in your build.xml file. That way, if someone wants to
call a so called
"private" target, they really have to make an effort at doing it, by
explicitly specifying
the buildfile.
