At which point would the list be best cleaned?  Only place I can think
of is when the project is done - at this point either Ant exits or the
project reference itself is invalidated (in Ant.java for example).

We could add an explicit clear method that could be used by <ant>,
this one could then clear the property, task and data-type definition
tables as well.
