I don't think so, but I having read the manual page on presetdef, I don't 
understand why it exists.  It seems like another way to do a macrodef.  

What I need is a why to compare a set of properties used previously with a set 
of properties used now, and set yet another property if they are not the 
same.

I think I can imagine a way to do this, writing out a properties file, then 
loading and doing a complex conditional.   But it's a lot of "ant code" to do 
for several different sets of properties.  I don't thinkit can be macro-ized, 
either.
