One way of solving this is to define a rule with the pattern:
retrieve<dirname>
This would copy the testRuntime configuration into <dirname>.
Two future features would make this more powerful.
- Make it easy to create custom task types (which would be instatiated
by the rule)
- Make it possible to set a task property via the command line (e.g.
for changing the configuration).
