Ian,
if there were no side-effects to initializing the build file(s), i'd say
"why not", but it seems it's a little more complex than that -- you'd
want to process <property> and <include> but no other project-level
task, then show the target list. so, is it worth your while? also,
wouldn't we still want an xslt layer to better control the output
format?
