Sure. But the tasks usually expect a File argument.
Another idea is to allow anything other than a File (a Resource would
probably be the best choice anyway) only for tasks that specify a
basedir (<ant> or a modified <import>) or for build files that specify a
basedir attribute holding an absolute path (most likely ${user.dir}).
