I am looking to do something that seems feasible, but searches on Google do not return something as precise as what I need.

You call put your ant scripts in a batch file (ant_tasks.bat) and then execute it from nant using exec.
Something like that:

<target name="run-command">
   <exec program="ant_tasks.bat" basedir="${test.dir}">
     <arg value="${args}" />
   </exec>
 </target>

Or you can put your nant scripts in a batch file and then execute it from ant using exec.

Example:

<existing ant task>

<target name="help">
  <exec executable="cmd">
    <arg value="/c"/>
    <arg value="nant-scripts.bat"/>
    <arg value="-p"/>
  </exec>
</target>

<another existing ant task>
