I have a requirement where I need to delink my symbolic links before my build,
and then link them back again at the end end of the successful build. In
addition to the linking, I also need to cleanup the environment everytime to
remove temporary files etc. 

It is very difficult and tedious to use depends or antcall in all the targets,
especially went the build files are spread around various projects. 

A final target in the build script would be best to allow such cleanup after the
build.
