An if-expression is -- just not a test-for-equality. It will likely become
available with Ant2, though.

See:
  http://jakarta.apache.org/site/cvsindex.html
and follow the instructions for pulling the source from CVS (module name
is jakarta-ant).

I don't know of one, but there's the -debug flag. You'll get substantially
more than just the name-value pairs, so you'll probably want to redirect
the output to a file (you can use -logfile <outfile>, or just do a
redirect). And note: You'll only get the properties that have actually
been set, so any properties you have defined inside targets that you don't
execute won't be included.
