Count Lines of Text?
Is there a simple way to count lines of text in a property/file? Not
lines of source code or anything, just raw lines of text, like "wc
-l". I mean, I could probably do something with line terminators, but
I'd rather have something that knows how to count lines properly on
multiple platforms.

Not exactly cross-platform, is it? I might as well use "wc -l". I'm
looking for something done in ant itself.
