One thing we are not taking into account is the plugin approach that
is part of Xavier's initial EasyAnt vision.

If our base build file contains a compile target and several "plugins"
that I want to use need to do stuff before the compile target then we
need a way to have a defined order. In the order my build file
requires the plugins, I guess.

Do we revert the order for after targets so the first one declared
gets executed last?

Also we will need to define how before/after an complete overriding of
targets interact. Do before/after apply to the new definition of the
target or are they dropped?
