ant

I don't want to get the basedir -- that appears to contain the build.xml script -- I want the CWD of the call to ant itself.

Basically, I want to do this:

$ cd /home/chrisr/projects/some_project
$ ant -f ../../tools/ant-build-rules/library.xml build-library

At this point, I need two things:

The path to ant-build-rules in absolute form; this is currently found in the basedir property, so I'm set there.
The path of some_project, in absolute form. This is what I don't know how to get.

Which property contains this information?
