How to deactivate or hook linking in ant-contrib cpptasks?

[Thorsten Schöning <ts...@am-soft.de>]

Hi,

I have a problem with the build process and started a question on
stackoverflow. I would appreciate if some of you with deeper knowledge
of ant and cpptasks could have a look on my problem.

Thanks!

I don't know those systems well, but I have done the cowardly thing
and upvoted the question on SO.
