I probably would not have needed <antReturn> if I had access to <import>...
I feel it's a little hackish too, even though it serves my purpose just
fine for now. The fact that ProjectComponent reference instances change
Project when returned could have negative side effects for example???

Sorry for dropping the ball on you ;-) I posted this code kinda showing off
I guess, during the <import> discussion if you recall, and also because it
might be useful to somebody else. I looked at the Antelope one, and really
didn't like the code duplication I saw there. So I hacked my own thanks to a
loop hope related to the Introspection rules of Ant to get a hold of the
nested private project... Would be cleaner in <ant> proper, but still not
great.

<import> is the way to go forward I think. I'm just missing it with my 1.5.3
Ant used in production builds (augmented Ant, but not modified in any way).

Thanks for proposing my code though. Cheers, --DD

PS: Maybe Ant-Contrib would like to incorporate <antReturn>
    to compete on features with Antelope??? ;-)
