Machine identity detection
Is there any way to detect which machine Ant is executing on, analogous
to detecting the operating system using the os.name property?

Yes, This has been recently added to cvs 1.5alpha. You can check the
machine architecture and version of Os using <os>

There are environment variables to give you this information and it is
platform specific. On Windows 2000 the environment variable is COMPUTERNAME
and on Linux its typically HOSTNAME.
This ought to do the trick in such environments:
<property environment="env"/>
<property name="env.COMPUTERNAME" value="${env.HOSTNAME}"/>
<property name="host.name" value="${env.COMPUTERNAME}"/>
Breakdown: first line loads environment variables. second line sets
env.COMPUTERNAME if its not already set (meaning only on *nix platforms).
third line just provides a friendlier property name - host.name.
