Yeah, sorry about having the flag on the wrong element; I was working from
memory.
Look at the source in CVS. There wasn't an official "Patch", but I seem to
recall the fix was a single line of code changed. If you need more help
than that, it may be more than I can provide over email. Also, you may find
it easiest to compile your own version of Delete.java and overrided the
taskdef. Look in the FAQ on how to do this.
