Here is a simple example showing how flexible, easy, and legible this
is:
<target name="-myTarget.init">
<condition property="somethingANDsomethingelse">
<and>
<isset property="something"/>
<isset property="somethingelse"/>
</and>
</condition>
</target>
<target name="myTarget" depends="-myTarget.init"
if="somethingANDsomethingelse">
<dosomething/>
</target>
This provides all the functionality needed; I would be against further
complicating Ant for maintainers and users by adding complex new
unnecessary features.

Subject: Re: using multiple properties in the 'if' and 'unless'
conditions
It's believed that you can easily combine the various conditions in
one <condition>, that sets a single property based on as complex a
logic as <condition>'s nested <or>/<and> allows, so it's not
necessary.
When you remember that targets listed in 'depends' are executed before
'if' / 'unless' are evaluated, you can easily execute the <condition>
before the target and test if/unless on its results.
