I don't really understand what you mean.  Are you saying that
the build XML is specified in a .properties file? A la,

buildscript=<project name="someproject"> ... </project>

or do you mean something else?  If there is some problem that you 
anticipate, I'd like to understand it so I can test it.

Fair enough.  What I *do* have working, is loading a build script from a
database text field, and running the build in a base directory that is 
determined by other information in the database record.  The builds I am 
running are pretty simple at the moment, so I wouldn't call it a 
comprehensive test, but I haven't encountered problems yet.
