Not a pure ANT question, but it's relevant to building configurations for
remote systems, possibly of another OS...

 Is there a simple way to generate file URLs that are guaranteed to work on
another platform?

For example, something like:

config.url=file://${file.system.path}

There will be in ant1.7, with the <makeurl> task. If you want it early, 
you can grab the Ant tasks from smartfrog.org and get its predecessor, 
<sf-tourl> in the ant tasks package. both tasks take in a File and set a 
property to the right path.

Otherwise, a bit of <script>; File.toURL().toString() being the code you 
want.
