[myrmidon] Depends as a task

[Peter Donald <pe...@apache.org>]

Hi,

I finally got around to making it possible to evaluate dependencies inside a 
target. So now all the following are equivelent

  <target name="x" depends="a,b,c">
  </target>
  
  <target name="x" depends="a">
    <depends target="b"/>
    <depends target="c"/>
  </target>
  
  <target name="x">
    <depends target="a"/>
    <depends target="b"/>
    <depends target="c"/>
  </target>
  
The advantage of this is that it allows you to declare dependencies in between 
other tasks like
  <target name="x">
    <log message="Before depends evaluated!"/>
    <depends target="c"/>
    <log message="After depends evaluated!"/>
  </target>
