Indeed you can set values to properties from the command line;

"You can also set properties on the command line. This can be done
with the -Dproperty=value option, where property is the name of the
property, and value is the value for that property. If you specify a
property that is also set in the build file (see the property task),
the value specified on the command line will override the value
specified in the build file."

I suspect it will save you some effort if you can just use the ant
script and invoke it from Make.

Btw., you can also keep one copy of the main ant script on your system
and import it into small/mostly empty ant files for each doc or set of
docs.
