Question is, can you get a value from an Ant property (e.g. 
project.home) into Cocoon and then logkit.xconf? How would you do that? 
That is really the problem you would have to solve, as I see it.

Now, Carsten implemented a new ConfigurationBulder that allows property 
replacement in cocoon.xconf. If you could get it to work on 
logkit.xconf, you would have your way.
