slavename as variable in recipe

[saces@…]

I want to feed the builder name as part of the ant-target, but the slave name is not aviable as variable.

example: <java:ant target="${slave.name}" />

On the one hand, this looks useful. On the other it is easily worked around using Slave Configuration:

[ant]
target = thismachine

and then in build recipe using ${ant.target} for whatever is defined in the .ini file of the slave running the build.

Note that name is not a valid option (see [660]), and that this is a much more general solution to the problem - as also discussed in #274.

I'm closing this as worksforme, and as mentioned on #274 I'll also improve the docs for this to make this feature more accessible and understandable.
