Ant is not a scripting | programming language ;-)
But if you need those stuff, simply use
<script .../> combined with a powerful scripting language
running in the Java VM via BSF (Bean Scripting Framework)
(Ruby,Beanshell,Javascript, Groovy ...) and implement your stuff
combined with accessing the ant api.

see =
http://ant.apache.org/manual/OptionalTasks/script.html

but beware of library dependendies =
http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html#librarydependencies

BSF
http://jakarta.apache.org/bsf/
(J)Ruby
http://jruby.codehaus.org/
Beanshell
http://www.beanshell.org/
Javascript
http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/

Gilbert
