Description

ant -Dcompile.native=false still runs autoconf and libtoolize

According to ant 1.8 manual, any <target if> conditions are checked only after the dependencies are run through. The current if condition in code fails to prevent the autoconf/libtool components from running.

Fixing it by moving the if condition up into the "compile-native" target and changing it to a param substitution instead of being evaluated as a condition.
