How to remove a property from a file

Hello everyone,

Ant's <propertyfile> task allows to update a file's properties, but
how do you _remove_ a property from a file?

The problem is that the number and name of properties in the file is
arbitrary... And while I could use external tools for it, I'd rather
not. Is there a "pure" ant solution?

Good news: Stefan has volunteered to be the release manager and he is
working
on that. So I would expect a release (with a very large safety belt)
during 
the next 3months.

I don't know the release schedule for Ant. What version will this
revision be available into, and when can I expect it?
