Provide a way to access targets/commandline that ant was called with

           Summary: Provide a way to access targets/commandline that ant was
                    called with
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5Beta1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: wr0ngway@yahoo.com


We have some custom tasks which call ant on other buildfiles.  It would be nice
if we had a way to access the list of targets Ant was called with so that our
task could call the sub-builds with those targets.  Right now we edit ant.bat to
set a system property containing the command line arguments it was called with,
but this breaks when trying to use IDE integrations with ant.  Something as
simple as a method call like project.getCalledTargets() or
project.getCommandLine() would be great.  Having access to the entire
commandline would be better so that arguments like "-silent", etc could also be
passed down to sub builds.
