directed exit of ant build?

Hi all,

Is it possible for a target to script the termination of the build?

I want something like this:

	<available file="config" property="config.dir.exists"/>
	<target "config" unless="config.dir.exists">
		<exec executable="svn">
			<arg line="export config.tmpl.config"/>
		</exec>
		<echo message="Edit the files in config/, then run Ant again."/>
		<!--
		    ********** Here I would like to abort the ant run! *********
		-->
	</target>

any way to do this?  (sorry if it's a FAQ :-/)
thx,
—ml—

The <fail> task accepts nested <condition> elements.
