init-antlet: Non overrideable dirs

The init antlet has this
   <!-- Non overrideable dirs -->
    <property name="dist.dir"       value="./dist"/>
    <dirname property="build.dir"   file="./build/build.xml"/>
    <property name="work.dir"       value="${build.dir}/work"/>
    <property name="temp.dir"       value="${work.dir}/temp"/>

I think even these properties should be overridable. 
Take for example the build.dir
On some unix machines the user's home dir is mounted over the network,  
this can make for very slow compiles.  Some people will set
<dirname property="build.dir"   
file="/tmp/${user.name}/${project.name}/build/build.xml"/>  
because /tmp is usually mounted locally. 

R,
Nick
