You could write a script, e.g. in JavaScript. There, you would create a
new instance of the testng task (using the global 'project' object),
then set all the necessary attributes and nested elements of the task
(don't forget to set the owning target), and, finally, call its
'execute' method.
PS. Since the custom task is in the same JAR as the main class, I could
just call the 'main' method from the task's 'execute' method. I'd still
prefer to do it via the Java task to be able to fork etc.

You should have methods like "setHeaders" (for the headers element) and
