Having contributed to ant makes my day! :-)))

A more general approach regarding arguments with validation, regexp pattern
and lots of sofisticated feature creap ;-). I'm not quite shure until know
which other tasks would really need it. Passing mulitple arguments
into a task in general seems to be not a <input> specific requirement to
me. I thought of a similar framework for arguments like <condition>.

Originally this came up because you mentioned totally legitimated that
some users might want to use a comma as input parameter which is treated
as delimiter by the current implementation. A quick answer to this might
be to make the delimiter of the StringTokenizer accessible as
parameter.

I'm not makeing a promise to meet the 1.5 feature freeze dealine. But
