This is true, unfortunately.

No, but we could add an attribute for that (much like <copy>'s
overwrite attribute) - yes, I think that would be a good idea. I'll
put it onto my TODO list, which is quite long, so don't hold your
breath 8-)
And yes, I encourage you to submit a patch if you want to speed up
things ;-).

If you are running JDK 1.2 or higher, you could work around this by
using a <touch> task to make IN more recent. Deleting OUT should
always work.
