As often, I was wrong. I had understood the back-slashes were there even for
the 'ts' ANT property, not just in the properties file, and was furthermore
stating what Ant should have done, which it already did... Oh my! --DD

P:\org_apache\antx>ant -f tstamp.xml
Buildfile: tstamp.xml

test:
   [delete] Deleting: P:\org_apache\antx\tstamp.properties
[propertyfile] Creating new property file:
P:\org_apache\antx\tstamp.properties
     [echo]
     [echo] Before loading properties file:
     [echo] ts1 = 22.05.2002 AD 15:41:18.271
     [echo] ts2 = ${ts2}
     [echo]
     [echo] Properties file content:
     [exec] #Wed May 22 15:41:18 CDT 2002
     [exec] ts2=22.05.2002 AD 15\:41\:18.271
     [echo]
     [echo] After loading properties file:
     [echo] ts1 = 22.05.2002 AD 15:41:18.271
     [echo] ts2 = 22.05.2002 AD 15:41:18.271

RTM on java.util.Properties.store ...Ant implements the spec, no more, no
