There is, actually -- use the O attribute of the ajc/iajc tag, with a
value of 0-3. Thus

<ajc O="0"> <more_tags> </ajc>

would compile with no optimisations enabled.

I'd like to implement an 'abcoptions' attribute to the <ajc> tags that
would allow you to specify arbitrary command-line options for abc,
though if the O attribute mentioned above is sufficient for your needs,
I'll leave it for a while.

No, that wouldn't affect the ant invocation, since that doesn't go via
the 'abc' script.
