taskdef defined in project or target

If I defined a for a custom task at the project-level (outside of a macro or target), does that consume a significant amount of memory? Would defining in a target and have the targets that use it depend on it (thus, the taskdef init would only run when the target runs) be a better optimizati

ant environment properties loaded automatically?

I noticed if I set the environment variable "ant.someprop=somevalue", and run a build file in the shell, "someprop" gets set to "somevalue" without the need of the task. Is this undocumented behavior?

Windows Network Path

Is there a way to specify a windows network share via the property task? This actually will evaluated to an absolute path relative to the basedir: [echoproperties] shared_path=N\:\\ant\\build\\shared_path I can use value="\\sharedir", but intuitively I thought to use the "location" attribute..

Agreed, I try to use antcall as little as possible. It also tends to eat up memory if you have a ton of antcall tasks in a large build framework. Macrodefs are a nice substitute, but they really need an "if/else" attribute. I find that I often have targets that are just wrappers for macrodef or
