Yes, that was the original intention but had to dropped because it 
wasn't thread safe.

BTW: I'm puzzled as to why Ant does this. I re-read your mail yesterday 
a few times and it seems a real outlier to run an Ant script like this. 
Maybe there are use-cases beyond building where this may be have been 
useful in the past? (I understand you may not have all the 
history/rational for this).
