* Allow named tasks to be defined by <script> elements.

* specify an onfail task or target that runs in case of a build
  failure.

* allow sequence to be specified in depends attribute or enhance
  antcall to work with current list of executed targets

* Support nesting tasks into other elements - not just as children of
  target - as proposed by Thomas Christen in
  <http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ant-dev&m=98130655812010&w=2>.

* Make if/unless attributes to check for the value of a property, not
  only its existance.

* check for more than one condition in if/unless attributes.

* provide a way to define the order in which targets a given target
  depends upon get executed.

* define task contexts that define various common aspects (logging,
  failure handling ...) and assign them to tasks.
