Then combine both property file "A" and property file "B" into property file
"C" (using the same <propertyfile> task Francis Galiegue showed you. Then,
use property file "C".
Remember once a property is set, it cannot be (easily) changed. Maybe you
should load in file "B" before file "A"? That would select "build" first
from property file "B" before property file "A" is loaded.
Or maybe you can set build on the command line? That will override any
property value from your properties files.
