Hmm - can for the life of me see the bug. Heres a little snippet showing
that <include name="${pattern2}"/> isn't exapanded (as it matches a
file with name ${pattern2}) but I still can't see what is wrong with the
build file. Will get back to you thou as there has been a few messages on
ant-user concerning this and I always just assumed it was a "feature" ;)
