Summary: AntFetch broken in Beta3: dir attribute not supported

Initial Comment:
Hi:

AntFetch is now totally broken.
The doc says that AntFetch call is same as Ant call 
with an addition of a "return" attribute.

With 1.0b3, this is now totally broken; with 1.0b2 
previously it works fine:
complained about "dir", "antfile" etc attribute not 
supported!!
Surely this can't be right?.

In the mean time, I've changed it to extend the Ant task instead, and it
should be back to normal.  Each ANT release makes supporting some of these
tasks even more convoluted than the last, so please bear with me.

I haven't even thought about ANT 1.7 yet.

Hmm... It's extending CallTarget which is used for <antcall>.  the "dir"
and "antfile" attributes exist on the <ant> task, not on <antcall>. But
you are right, the documentation says it should support the "dir" and
"antfile" attributes.  I will look into how this happened.

Did you upgrade your ANT at some point?  This task directly extends the
ant CallTarget class, which is what is used to execute the <antcall>
task.

Unless this was changed in ant 1.6.5/1.7, I see no reason why this
shouldn't work.

Typical error message would like this:
D:\wsp5\TestProject\test.xml:20: The <antfetch> type doesn't support the
"dir" attribute.
