Hi,

some suggestions:
1) Obfuscating task
2) Simple flow control (if-then-else, for)

	Examples:
	---------
	<for list="*mydir1,mydir2,mydir3">
		<-- do something for each item , ${i} is the placeholder of the loop
item-->
		<exec ... "${i}" />
	</for>

	<if test="my.boolean.property">
		<then>
		<-- do something -->
		</then>
		<else>
		<-- do something else-->
		</else>
	</if>

Hope that creates some (other) ideas
