Anthill doesn't pass any such information into the build at present. Modifying 
it to pass in the timestamp or changeset identifier of the last successful 
build would be possible.

It would probably be simpler to set the project to tag on successful builds, 
and then in your build script find the most recent Anthill tag and get the 
list of changes since then.
