    Conditioning basic properties ...

        the 'apple' and 'local' base directories are located differently
    on different platforms and, in particular, "NEXT_ROOT" is not used on
    Mac OS X. By default:

           'Apple' frameworks live at "/System/Library/Frameworks/..."
           'Local' frameworks live at "/Library/Frameworks/...

        I'm not familiar with the Windows layout, but Solaris uses
    "NEXT_ROOT" == /opt/Apple and:

           'Apple' frameworks live at "/opt/Apple/Library/Frameworks/..."
           'Local' frameworks live at "/opt/Apple/Local/Library/Frameworks/...

        so, while on Solaris you can derive the 'local' by inserting
    "/Local" into the 'apple' string, you cannot do this on Mac OS X.

        what I did was to be sneaky:

    <!-- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    - - - - -->

       <target name="MacOSX" description="set isMacOSX conditional">
         <condition property="isMacOSX"><os family="unix" /></condition></target>

       <target name="Windows" description="set isWindows conditional">
         <condition property="isWindows"><os family="windows"
    /></condition></target>

       <target name="condMacOSX" if="isMacOSX" depends="MacOSX"
    description="set Mac OS X properties">
         <echo message="is Mac OS X ..." />
         <property name="apple_root" value="/System" />
         <property name="local_root" value="" /></target>

       <target name="condWindows" if="isWindows" depends="Windows"
    description="set Windows properties">
         <echo message="is Windows ..." />
         <property environment="env" />
         <property name="apple_root" value="${env.NEXT_ROOT}" />
         <property name="local_root" value="${apple_root}/Local" /></target>
       
       <target name="init" depends="condWindows,condMacOSX" unless="init"
    description="initialize properties">
         <tstamp><format property="timestamp" pattern="MMMdd/yy HH:mm" /></tstamp>
         <property name="wo.localroot" value="${local_root}" />
         <property name="apple_frwk_dir" value="${apple_root}/Library/Frameworks" />
         <property name="local_frwk_dir" value="${local_root}/Library/Frameworks" />
             <property name="apache_doc_dir"
    value="/Library/WebServer/Documents/WebObjects/Applications"/>
         <property name="builder_temp" value="build-ant" />
         <property name="classes_temp" value="/tmp/Classes" /></target>

    <!-- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    - - - - -->

        this prepares the various property values conditionally, there may
    be an easier way, ant is also brand new to me!
