--------------------------------

Andy, I could probably think of a few handy ones. I know I've wished for this 
in the past. Lets say you want to point all your test logs to one place in the 
whole build. Or in my case I wanted to use hsqlb and reuse the results but 
needed a common location to point them all to.

> we need a var that always points to the root direcotry in multi module builds

> ${basedir} always points to the local module. There are cases, when having a 
> local relative repository, when it would be usefull to have a var that always 
> pointed to the root project, ${rootdir}.
> In such a case you may want to think of having the names ${rootdir} 
> ${moduledir}
