Analyzing would be quite hard as you can include sub-builds dynamically:
<import file="${systemproperty}"/> override the name from the command line or \
otherwise imported property value. <subant> add an additional subdirectory ...
Especially if you think of using properties, their value can come from outside ...
So analyzing in a general way would not really practical.
But if you want to rely on some conditions (all buildfiles are named as "build.xml", \
no use of dynamically imported files) much more should be possible. But you have to \
hack deep into the Ant core ...
