Alternatively we could integrate this functionality with (2) so that we
could have something like.
<fileset ...>
<include name="*.sh"/>
<mapper type="unix-permissions">
<param name="user" value="ant"/>
<param name="group" value="ant"/>
<param name="mod" value="755"/>
</mapper>
</fileset>
Thou with all these variations it may be advantageour to also define a
highlevel simple format that gets transformed into this low-level format
via xslt.
So we could still revive things like
<copyfile from="myfile.txt" todir="foo/" />
for mere web designers ;)
Cheers,
Pete
