Ok, I'm not a committer - anyhow:
I disagree cause you can do the very same thing just with Macros.
No need for new target attributes.

This must be the soul of this whole upcoming framework. It's an
absolutley must.

It makes sense Peter. And this already works in Ant, provided we add
before/after support to <target>.
Q1: Does everyone agree that adding before/after to target to Ant 1.8
is useful and should be done before (in conjunction of) creating
generic build files?
Q2: Do others feel (like me) that we should also have a mean to
override a target's content (task list) while keeping the overridden
target's dependency list?
Both questions above are independent of using overriding macros... --DD
