you could just wait for the <antcall/> to finish completing, instead of
having to do the waitfor, and ignore the parallel/sequential logic
altogether.

what you probably want, is try/catch from antelope. 

<try>
    <ant .../>
    <finally>
        <mail .../>
    </finally>
</try>

well, in fact I'd need rather something like:

<parallel>
	<ant ...call buildfile... />
	<sequential>
		<waitfor ...some var that indicates build is done... />
         	<mail ...email results... />
	</sequential>
</parallel>
