Unless the behaviour of ant has changed recently, I think
there was a 
good reason for NOT giving targets names that start with a
minus sign.

I can't remember the reason any more, but I think it will
still be on 
the sip-comm dev archive. We definitely discussed the issue
and tested 
what ant did before choosing the current rather strange
approach.

Perhaps these targets still get listed with
"-projecthelp" - if you feel 
strongly enough, you could make a test with the latest ant
version.
