Thanks. I now realize that the output.dir property is specific to the
use of ant in the DITA Open Toolkit (http://dita-ot.sourceforge.net/)
and not a general ant thing. (That's what comes from trying to learn
both at once!)

output.dir

I can't find any reference that the property output.dir has any special
value. I've searched through the whole Ant manual, and found two
references to "output.dir". Both are used as examples for the name of
some output directory. You can always do this:

$ ant > ant.out.txt

Or if you're on Unix:

$ ant | tee ant.out.txt
