Minor nit: ${basedir} and the directory containing build.xml are
independent of each other.

is the same as <property name="project.dir" location="${basedir}/.." />
since all relative paths are relative to ${basedir}, Ant will take
care of them for you.

Most of the time this is no big deal since Ant will resolve the path
in many places when you actually use the property. If you run into
problems with the properties use <xmlproperty> and semantic attributes
instead of a properties file.
