Do you want it to print the message and keep going, or print the message
and fail?

If the latter, just 'unless' on it in a <fail> task (as of 1.5). If the
former, you'll need to wrap an <echo> in a <target> and 'unless' on the
<target> -- or use the ant-contrib <if> task. (I modified <echo> to allow
for if/unless, but I've not submitted it -- and I think I remember someone
[DD?] putting through something that allowed if/unless on any task, so
that'd probably be the better way to go anyway -- assuming I didn't just
dream it?... ack, been away from all this too long... too much real work,
too little time.)
