<parallel> task needs cascade option

           Summary: <parallel> task needs cascade option
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: odungey@csc.com


>From using the parallel task I have found that it is annoying that any sub tasks
of things called in a parallel block are also run in parallel. Sometimes you
just want to run the tasks specified as parallel and not their children. If an
attribute cascade=true/false was provided it would make it much safer/more flexible.

This would also assist where targets called in a parallel task have dependencies
that you cannot control with a <sequential> block
