+<b>Important:</b> the <code>if</code> and <code>unless</code> attributes
only
+enable or disable the target to which they are attached. They do not control
+whether or not targets that a conditional target depends upon get executed.
+In fact, they do not even get evaluated until the target is about to be
executed,
+and all its predecessors have already run.

<p>The optional <code>description</code> attribute can be used to provide a
one-line description of this target, which is printed by the
<nobr><code>-projecthelp</code></nobr> command-line option. Targets
without such a description are deemed internal and will not be listed,
