No.  So take whatever I write with a grain of salt or two.

Making that optional should be enough.

Do we have a magic property to not use any mirror
(like maven --offline)?

Do we really want to use magic properties at all?  This also includes
ant.maven.repository.dir.

Yes.

Sounds useful.

8-)  Applies to almost all tasks.

We are sourcing ~/.ant/ant.conf so you could make it something like

if [ -z "$ANT_ARGS" ]; then
    ANT_ARGS="-propertyfile $HOME/.ant/build.properties"
else
    ANT_ARGS="$ANT_ARGS -propertyfile $HOME/.ant/build.properties"
fi

[[[ may break if $HOME contains spaces ]]]
