Hi Jan,

I recall conversations about turning off logging for overridden paths, since it
is a pretty useful design pattern for build files, especially those using
<import> and re-defining paths to their liking.  Will a future Ant release make
this change?  For instance, in the imported build file I have....

    <path id="build.base.classpath.local"/>
    <path id="build.classpath.local"/>

    <!-- Define standard paths here.  These should *not* be overridden.  The
empty referenced paths defined above are there for exactly this purpose -->
    <path id="build.base.classpath">
        <path refid="build.base.classpath.local"/>
    </path>
    <path id="build.classpath">
        <path refid="build.classpath.local"/>
        <path refid="build.base.classpath"/>
    </path>


..then in the importing build file, I implement the path ".local" paths.  When
I run it, I always get...

Overriding previous definition of reference to build.base.classpath.local
Overriding previous definition of reference to build.classpath.local


I already know I'm doing that, and it is exactly what I intend.  Reminding me
that it is being done isn't helping, information-wise, and it causes
unnecessary concern by other developers wondering why these messages keep
getting spewed out.
