The <compiler> and <linker> elements are already very similar to this - they
both take "if" and "unless" attributes, and can include things like
<defineset>, etc.  One thing they don't do is include nested <fileset>
elements.  But that's easy enough to change.

Also, one of the things I wanted to do is to turn the <compiler> and
<linker> elements into proper data-types, so that they can be used by
reference in more than one <cc> task.
