Sorry, I'm not sure I understand the last part of your sentence correctly.

Are you thinking about another datatype "replaceregexp" (what should it do?)
or are you talking about using a regexp in the replace task? Or am I
completly wrong?

I'm currently playing around with regular expressions and replace and have
currently have implemented (but not very well tested) something like

    <replace file="thefile" summary="true">
      <replaceRegexp pattern="&lt;!-- NB:LIBLOCS -->.*&lt;!--
NB:LIBLOCE -->"/>
      <replaceValue>replaced with something else</replaceValue>
    </replace>
