Ok, attached is a small test case which shows the failings of <import> when 
there are target name collisions. In this case the dependency of "test" to 
"critical" in b.xml is incorrectly replaced with a depenency on the 
"critical" target in a.xml. 

Target renaming doesn't help here. Having everything in a single project 
namespace remains a problem. I'd say the number of target name collisions 
between imported build files is going to be high because of the tendency to 
choose target names from a small pool of common names.
