Overriding built-in types fails within tasks

This is way out the design goals for ant. You are allowed to add new types that
are subclasses of the existing one, but replacing the existing one with a new
type midway through a build is a very new idea indeed. 

not necessarily bad, just very new. We will have to think about this one. Dont
expect any change for a while, like in ant1.6 or before.
