Should we always support that? Also if we are going to support it, we should agree on a single delimiter (or set of delimiters, if necessary). A common method to tokenize such delimited lists would then be possible. Naturally I vote for the comma as delimiter :-)

: is bad on win32, ; may be confused with : (I've done it before!) Comma is unconfusing and shouldn't be used within filenames, so no problems there.
Hi, A few comments on delimiter choice:
i) There is a platform dependant path separator already, but I assume we want build files to be cross platform.
ii) ',' is a legal character in many file-systems (and turns up in RCS generated filenames all the time :)
iii) ':' is already used inside of Project.translatePath(), and given that the rest of Ant uses unix-style paths it would seem that ':' is the most consistant thing to use.
