There's not much to see. Here's the "available" task reference:
<available file="review" type="dir" property="review.dir.exists"/>
This sits in a build file (we'll call it "otherbuild.xml" for reference)
in one directory and I'm importing this build file into the main build
file, which is in the current directory when I try to run the target.
If I'm importing the build file, and I do "ant <target>", it properly
detects the "review" directory in the current directory. If I instead
do "ant -f ../dir/otherbuild.xml <target>", this doesn't work because it
looks for the "review" directory in the "../dir" directory, not the
current directory.
