No different than -f then. Even when using the hard-coded -f from
an alias, you can still specify another one on the command line,
since the last one wins, so really it doesn't bring anything.

Just use a property you can override from the command line,
and always set in your wrapper script or alias.

> 3rd usage dynamic change of subant task calls

Ditto.

I thus don't think it's a useful addition, since all scenarios
can be easily achieved right now, in the usual Ant way. --DD
