Is there any way you can get the <arg ...> style of argument for the 
<exec> task to work for you?  It would keep the easy-to-read multiline 
layout while eliminating the problem with the linefeed.  It would give 
up some flexibility, but it doesn't look like you need it.

If embedding a return in the string above results in a crlf in the 
string, then perhaps you should try
    string::replace(... , '
', '')

i.e., use a real crlf instead of \n.
