"optimize build order" as an ANT-task

If one EGL-project depends on (references parts in) another project, you need to build the dependent project after the other project. In the workbench this can be achieved using the "optimize build order" menu option.
When creating a workspace dynamically (importProject ANT-task), such an option iks not available.
This potentially causes errors.
An ANT-task to "optimize build order" would help.

    Thank you for this suggestion. We think it is a good idea, and we will consider it when we are planning for our next release.
