Richard,
If you really need strong scripting support for your builds, perhaps you
should consider using Gravy (Groovy + Ant). This will give you all the power

There are a number of issues with using ant as a scripting language:

a lot of scripting (ok, almost any scripting) work in your build system.
If your build system consists of essentially a batch execution of a
