indeed. that could probably do be done by wrapping each test in a single
ant script.

most of the test files do, for a given .odd file:

	-which rnv && rnv ../p5odds.rnc $< 
	$(ROMA) $(ROMAOPTS) --xsl=$(XSL) $< .
	jing -t $*.rng $*.xml
	-which rnv && (xmllint --noent --dropdtd  $*.xml | rnv $*.rnc )
	xmllint --dropdtd $*.xml | xmllint --noout --dtdvalid $*.dtd -
	saxon $*.isosch ../Utilities/iso_schematron_message_xslt2.xsl  > $*.xsl
	saxon $*.xml $*.xsl

which involves 

 2 x xmllint
 2 x rnv
 at least 4 Java startups, if not more
