One thing might be that the condition for abcl.version.svn.p might be 
failing if

          <available
             file="svnversion"
             filepath="${env.PATH}"/>

is wrong.  I read a note indicating that the system path in Windows 2000 
is case sensitive, so this would be

    <available
             file="svnversion"
             filepath="${env.Path}"/>

I ignored this advice, figuring that it didn't apply to WinXP and its 
successors.

To debug, I'd add a line like

	<echo>abcl.version.svn.p: ${abcl.version.svn.p}</echo>

to the 'abcl.stamp.version' target, and try various things to get this 
value to be 'true'.

Hopefully, I can get some time tomorrow to figure out what's wrong under 
Windows.
