Jeffrey, I guess I knew that this idea wouldn't get a big hooray... If you had tried NAnt you would probably agree that in-line Java is cooler than custom tasks because you (can) have the entire script in one file. The proposal wasn't to satisfy my own needs but to serve a large base of Ant users who are considering jumping the ship for Maven and other tools. Oh well.
