I can see the appeal of this, but I have a concern.
Right now the workstation to my right is doing an ivy-manged build of
three different codebases, from different CVS/SVN repositories, using
the <buildlist > task to create an ordered list of all projects that
declare interdependencies in their ivy files.
In a world like that, whose .ant/lib files get picked up? the first?
The .ant/lib would be the master build file's directory - since
this is the one that used by oata.launch.Launcher from ant.bat/ant sh file
In your case, I do not know that ivy/buildlist does to call
the multiple projects build files,
I assume that the <ant> task will be used, in this
case the .ant/lib directories of the controlled projects
will be ignored.

all? If I exit a project, does its stuff get undeclared?
