There is no way to compare a the value of a variable specified in a properties file inside the ant build script.

           Summary: There is no way to compare a the value of a variable
                    specified in a properties file inside the ant build
                    script.
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6.2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows XP

In the ANT build.xml file suppose that I am looking at a properties file..say 
usersetup.props. Now I want to invoke a ant target only if the value of a 
variable in the usersetup.props is equal to some known value, and otherwise 
will not invoke the target. Now in the present ANT i think we cannot do such 
comparisons. Can you please let me know if there is already a provision to do 
this or is there any known workaround ?
