In many languages, it is possible to execute an external command and set the results to an internal variable. For example in Bourne shell:
 
todaysDate=`date`
 
And in Perl:
 
$hostname=qx(hostname);
 
Is it possible in Nant to set a property to the output of a system command? There is a resultproperty parameter in the exec task, but that's the exit status of the external command and not the output of the external command.
