Summary: cascade attribute doesn't work with dynamic targets

Initial Comment:
In 0.85 this worked:

<call target="${generator.target}" cascade="false" />

but in 0.86-beta1 does not work so I need to do this to make it work:

<call target="${generator.target}" cascade="false" unless="${target::has-executed(generator.target)}"/>

which is a bit of a pain in the ass since I need to go in and change all my scripts.

Tomasz, this was actually a bug in NAnt 0.85. The fix is documented in the
release notes for 0.86 Beta 1.

The documentation clearly states that the target will be re-executed:

"When the <call> task is used to execute a target, both that target and
all its dependent targets will be re-executed."

The "cascade" attribute only affects whether dependent targets will be
re-executed.

Sorry for the trouble this causes for you, but I hope you understand that
this fix was necessary.
