Hmmm... But this is not exactly the same... What happens when the included
file does not exit?
Think of the following typical scenario:
* multiple developers with slightly different build environments
(different location for some libraries, for instance);
* the build script contains properties pointing to the *default*
locations; the build script is versioned and shared by all developers;
* each developer can provide a build.properties file to adjust the build
script to its environment idiosyncrasies; the build.properties is not
versioned nor shared;
How would one accomplish something on these lines with nant?
Best regards,
Rodrigo
