Window ant.bat out of hell

Andrew,

The new comment in build.xml is somewhat misleading.  It refers
to setting the property before the include of build.properties,
but you place the logic and the comment before including a different
file, and after including two more.

I would suggest moving the new lines up to the beginning of the
project, at line 34.

(And, there's a type in the comment -- "fore" instead of "for".)

-- Jon

P.S.  Uugh to Ant syntax.
