Jason,
This way works well too. The advantage of using args is that they will be
quoted if they have spaces.
so <exec program="echo" commmandline="hello c:\program files\file1.txt"/>
results in
>echo hello c:\program files\file1.txt
<exec program="echo">
<arg name="hello"/>
<arg name="c:\program files\file1.txt"/>
</exec>
results in
>echo hello "c:\program files\file1.txt"
