This is possible for all versions of Ant, the code is <property> and
<taskdef> and since 1.5 <typedef>.
A few months ago we agreed to stretch this concept to all tasks, so
that we no longer have to rely on magic names.
See <http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=100347272700004&r=1&w=2>.
Try this in Ant 1.5
<project default="a">
<taskdef name="property"
classname="org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Echo" />
<property>Hello world</property>
<target name="a" />
</project>
It is going to work.
If you disagree with allowing all tasks outside of targets, I'll have
to revert a bit more of code, I guess.
