It's not something that ships with ANT - just my own wrapper, grown from the
original ANT one, which doesn't work with my UWIN ksh.

What happens is that -Dx="some thing" and "-Dx=some thing" both end up as

-Dx=some thing

inside the script, before it's passed to the java invocation which fires off
ANT itself.

I've got to use spaces - I'm trying to pass things through to another java
invocation which will in turn parse the command line - changing this isn't
an option for me. I'm starting to get the fear!

Does

ant.sh target "-Dproperty=some thing"

work?

BTW, what is ant.sh?  Nothing that ships with Ant, is it?
