Build property to identify personal builds?

When I use the jazz build engine to run a personal build, is there a property (or other mechanism) that I can access within my ant script that identifies the build as a personal one? Also, is it possible to get the id under which the build was requested? I don't see either of these in the documented build properties.
Thanks, Alex.

Ah, I just found this in one of the jazz.net articles:
"The Jazz build engine flags personal builds with the property ${personalBuild}, which is available in the generated build.properties file. "
so that solves my first problem.

Along the same lines ..

I'd like to see the following additional properties exposed

1) The user who requested the personal build
2) The workspace that the user specified

These two items would allow my build to include the user's name and
workspace name in the build package filename or encoded within the build
package itself.

Knowing the workspace name is also interesting because .. maybe the
jbe's local load path could include the workspace name so that different
types of builds go into different local paths on the jbe machine.

Do you get the workspace property?

2) The workspace that the user specified
