Here's another one, to do with my "library faker" I posted about yesterday - it
might be useful to be able to write a task which took a jarfile specified by
property X (absolute or relative) and built a fake jarfile with the same
interface (as specified by another property) in the same directory, called
fake(foo).jar, eg giving ${build.lib}/vaj.jar would create
${build.lib}/fakevaj.jar
Now admittedly I think I'd *usually* rather create them in a different
directory anyway, but Diane's task would at least make it easy to do the above
if someone wanted it.
