Some time ago I send an <equal> task to ant-dev, that would allow
you to set a property if two values were equal.

eg:
      <target name="copy-orbix" depend="check-orbix" if="orb.is.orbix">
                <echo>Foo</echo>
        </target>

        <target name="check-orbix">
                <equal property="orb.is.orbix" left="${orb}" right="orbix"/>
        </target>

I can try and dig the code out if you want, but it's pretty easy to write
it yourself.

Note to others:
        Is anyone hosting a collection of weird ant tasks?
        There has been reluctance to add a contrib/ modules to the ant-cvs,
          and I'm quickly collecting a bunch of these sort of tasks.
