Is it?  We could add a task that registers a LogCapturer with the
current project.  We'd lose the log before the task was run, but that
should be fine for most antunit tests.

Unless you add a target running antunit in the file to the file itself

Independent of the problem above, I've been thinking about this
myself.  The reason is the current failure of the antbook examples in
Gump.  The failing AntUnit test cannot pass in Gump since it assumes a
classpath setup that's not available here.

The alternative to an approach that selects targets to be run in the
task (as you suggest) is putting guards into the build file under
test, like we currently do in several JUnit tests

    public void testEcho() throws Exception {
        if (getProject().getProperty("nant.found") != null) {
            expectLogContaining("echo", "foo is bar");
        }
    }

would translate to 

    <target name="testEcho" depends="check.nant" if="nant.found">
        ...

Interesting abuse of patternsets, but why not.
