Ah! Thanks alot. I wasn't aware of <available> task at all!
Maybe will be nice to add seealso to if/ifnot documentation to all tasks
which could be used with (e.g. they set property values).
Still - it could be useful to have some (e.g. system.result) property which
contains result of previous task. Success/skipped/error (if failonerror is
false). For example you never know after execution of <mkdir> whether
directory exists before or was just created. You don't know after <csc> task
what files which actually compiled and which not, etc.
Once more: Thanks alot!
Martin
