I wrote a task which does this. It basically calls the specified target
without creating an entirely new Project.

Thats one of the reasons I did this =) Actually, my main reason was that
changes I made to tokens/patternsets/etc in the called target did not get
propagated back up to the parent.

I handle params reasonably well in this task.. My main problem with it is
that it breaks the dependency chaining a bit - I handle the depends
attrbiute in the called target, but if those targets are also depended on
my some other target called before/after this one, the depended targets
will end up getting called multiple times.
I also allow *very simple* logic in determining if a target gets called,
and an elsetarget for when you want if/else behavior in calling targets.
Task is attached below, its short on documentation though, but we all know
code is self documenting, right? =)
