While we're talking about return values, what do people think of something
akin to task arguments?
<call target="build-something" somevariable="foo" />
<target name="build-something">
<delete file="${somevariable}" />
</target>
We currently do this with properties, but it would be easier to keep large
build files tidy if we had something akin to local scope...

It might work for me as well, I haven't tried it. At the moment, I'm
doing ASP.NET projects, so I can easily put together filesets that
contain the correct files. I was more asking to get a better idea of the
way NAnt works.
Thanks,
Erick
