[Webtest] Ant Tasks don't work properly

[Marc Guillemot]

Hi Veit,

this will be correct... in some time.

Currently the properties in tasks within <webtest> and </webtest> are 
expanded too early (before the first task is executed) causing echo not 
to know the value of the property ${newUser}.

I'm working (since too many time) on a deep rework of WebTest internals 
to correctly handles such cases (among others) but it is still not ready.

The workaround is to compute your timestamp properties before the <webtest>.

Marc.
