I have implemented an idea I had for a longer time: tasks pick their
values for themself from existing properties.
>From the Hudson Clover plugin I got the idea of using BuildListeners for
"AOP" functions and tried that.
The result is in the sandbox and I want to put it into core, but want to
have some feedback before.

I dont know the autotools suite, so that name was more intuitive for me.

I am not familiar with the ISH, so that didnt come to my mind.
I'll have a look (when I have my next time slot ;-)
So it was good to place it in the sandbox before :O

I like the idea and the general implementation but have a problem with
the name. When I saw its name I thought you were writing task for the
autotools suite and not a task that would configure other tasks.
autotaskconf?
Regarding the implementation I wonder whether you couldn't use
IntrospecitionHelper (maybe by opening it up a little) instead of
writing your own reflection logic to determine the possible attributes.
I fear the task's logic is bound to be different from
IntroSpectionHelper in subtle ways which could lead to confusing bugs.
