[Anthill-pro] Is it possible (AnthillPro 2.6) to pass a variable to a Build Deployment Manager

[Eric Minick]

Unless you are maintaining an external collection of old build 
artifacts, or walking the intranet cleverly, Anthill 2.6 doesn't provide 
real support for deploying old versions. AnthillPro3 ALA is really 
focused on accomplishing exactly that task.

We knew Anthill 2.6 wasn't architected to solve that problem, and it was 
important. So deploying previous builds was a core focus as we set out 
to rewrite the application for 3.x.
