I'm not sure if there're any other reasons but to me it's very obvious so one
can distinguish
${HOMEPATH} vs. ${env.HOMEPATH} as they're clearly 2 different animals, if you
will. How else Ant would know what you mean and how're you magically going to
reference the system environment w/o "env."?
Even if there was a way to comment out <property environment="env"/>, it's no
savings in memory or uncluttering your scripts!
Sorry, I really don't know if there's any other way to refer to system
environment values, maybe someone else does?
