I think I have come up with a way to fix things although it is more of 
a kludge in my book. I would appreciate it if others could check the 
effect this has on their code and make sure it does not have any 
adverse effect!! I made the modifications to the 1.5.1 downloadable 
from ant's website - I had done a cvs checkout yesterday from home but 
although it compiles, ant doesn't work, complains about a missing 
fileset or something, so don't try this with a fresh cvs checkout! This 
appears to fix the problem- my tasks do execute now!

-Ryan Cuprak

To RuntimeConfigurable.java add the following:
    public Object getWrappedObject () {
        return ( wrappedObject );
    }

To Target.java erase the exisiting execute method and add the following:
    public void execute() throws BuildException {
        if (testIfCondition() && testUnlessCondition()) {
            Enumeration enum = children.elements();
            while (enum.hasMoreElements()) {
                Object o = enum.nextElement();
                if (o instanceof Task) {
                    Task task = (Task) o;
                    task.perform();
                } else {
                    RuntimeConfigurable r = (RuntimeConfigurable) o;
                    r.maybeConfigure(project);
                    Object t = r.getWrappedObject();
                    if ( t instanceof Task ) {
                        System.err.println ( "Going to execute: " + t );
                        try {
                            project.fireTargetStarted(this);
                            Task t2 = (Task)t;
                            t2.execute();
                            project.fireTargetFinished(this, null);
                        } catch (RuntimeException exc) {
                            project.fireTargetFinished(this, exc);
                            throw exc;
                        }

                    }
                }
            }
        } else if (!testIfCondition()) {
            project.log(this, "Skipped because property '"
                        + project.replaceProperties(this.ifCondition)
                        + "' not set.", Project.MSG_VERBOSE);
        } else {
            project.log(this, "Skipped because property '"
                        + 
project.replaceProperties(this.unlessCondition)
                        + "' set.", Project.MSG_VERBOSE);
        }
    }
