A simple trick can be a declaration of a "version" attribute which would 
declare the minimum Ant version required to run the build file, and also 
declare how it should be interpreted. This is how it works for the ivy.xml for

I think you can already today, there are some experiments which show it works 
[1] [2]. The names of the classes of Ant may not be explicit, but I think the 
abstraction is there.
