Summary: property set with var task passes through inheritAll="false"

Initial Comment:
I'm running ant 1.6.5, contrib 1.0b2.

with:

  <target name="testA">
    <property name="testprop1" value="test1"/>
    <var name="testprop1" value="newval1"/>
    <property name="testprop2" value="test2"/>
    <antcall target="testB" inheritAll="false"/>
  </target>

  <target name="testB">
    <property name="testprop1" value="1"/>
    <property name="testprop2" value="2"/>
    <echo message="testprop1: ${testprop1}"/>
    <echo message="testprop2: ${testprop2}"/>
  </target>

invoking 'ant testA' yields:

  Buildfile: build.xml

  testA:

  testB:
       [echo] testprop1: newval1
       [echo] testprop2: 2

  BUILD SUCCESSFUL
  Total time: 0 seconds

In Variable.java, the forceProperty() method should be
rewritten to be more like removeProperty(), in
particular the use of the ant.PropertyHelper to access
the Hashtable to be munged.
