I want to revise an existing script so that it does a different = target for=20 each of several different *values* of a property.

For example, if the property, which is named 'server' has a = value of=20 "foo", I want the script to execute a target called "foo-upload". If the = value=20 of 'server' is "bar", I want the script to execute a target called = "bar-upload".=20 If the value of 'server' is "test", I want the script to execute a = target called=20 "test-upload".

Actually, although the target names begin with the server name, = that is=20 more convenience than necessity; it isn't critical that the target names = start=20 with the server name so I don't insist on that.

I am running Ant 1.6.1 but would be willing to upgrade to a newer = version=20 to accomplish this. I would also like to stay "pure Ant" if possible but = would=20 still be interested in seeing solutions using optional tasks or=20 ant-contrib.

I know that 'if' and 'unless' are the normal mechanisms for = enabling=20 conditional execution of tasks but they only seem to work on the basis = of if a=20 property is enabled or not, rather than on the VALUE of the = property.
