This seems like a stupid question (and probably is!) but I can't seem to
find
what I'm looking for anywhere obvious.  I have a build that takes a long
time,
and would like to be able to record the current date/time at various points
throughout the build.  Just like you get when you run in 'verbose' mode but
without all the extra verbosity.  Ideally I'd want something like a
'timestamp'
attribute in the echo task, so I could do things like:

<echo timestamp="true" message="Starting job..."/>
...
<echo timestamp="true" message="Finished job."/>

Are there any obvious solutions to this - running an exec with a 'time'
command
seems like a hack, <tstamp/> doesn't really do what I want; the ant-contrib
<stopwatch/> doesn't give absolute times, just differences; the <record/>
task
probably could change log verbosity to force ant-generated timestamps at
different points but again seems roundabout/overkill.
