This is something I stumbled over recently and thought would be useful
also - Im don't feel strongly about it going into M5 or waiting,
although I see no reason to wait until after M5 if you're willing to do
it now.

Thanks for doing this Nathan.
Another thought, it would be useful to have a top-level fetch-depends
target too. It would need to call the three (?) more specific fetch-*
targets. (As well as being useful, it might also fix the fact that the
error message you get for missing dependencies when using the federation
build tells you to run fetch-depends but not where to run it and running
it in the obvious place, at the top-level, fails as there is no target.)
I'm happy to add this if people think it is worth having for M5.
Regards,
Mark.

Does anyone object to normalizing the names of the Ant targets? The
mixed use of '-' and '_' is starting to push me over the edge. As an
example, here's the targets available in the top-level of the
federated build.
build-all build complete implementation
bundle_src assemble source snapshot
default setup and build complete implementation
make-snapshot setup and build complete src + binaries set
populate_source checkout the class library and VM source trees
reset removes vm and classlib dirs and resets
I'd like to just use '-' across the board.
We can maintain the previous targets for a while via redirects and put
in some deprecation statements.
