Not difficult but the issues are there.

The renaming of overridden targets depends on project names but lots of projects don't have names. I believe the name can be provided in the import task to access overridden targets in unnamed projects and also to handle name collisions. Probably would require creation of the parsing context in the import task.

maybe projects should get a default name of their full filepath


The basedir issue :-). I'd rather get it right in 1.6 than create a backward compatibility issue down the track. Got enough of those to deal with already. Import file resolution must be done relative to the basedir of the project doing the import, regardless of whether that is the outermost project.
