RFE:Ant must be run from toolkit directory

Converted from SourceForge issue 1172349, submitted by lmandel

I am attempting to run an Eclipse help build as part of a
larger build process. I don't have control over the basedir
when the build process is run. The Dita Open Toolkit
requires that the ant build is run from the toolkit
directory. (ie. from DITA-OT1.0.) In order to allow this I
tried setting the base directory by using the ant task,

<ant dir="DITA-OT1.0_install_dir".../>

to set the basedir to the location of the toolkit. The temp
directory was still created in the base location of the
original ant call and the build did not complete
successfully. The basedir seems to be set correctly in
ant. This may be an XSL problem.

Currently, build from direcory other than toolkit's root directory
is not supported, and we will consider this as a new
requirement in later release. Sorry for the inconvenience
caused, thanks!
