How about we extend <echo> to have a srcFile attribute.
Then you can cat through a sequence of echos, but also echo a file to the
output log, which could be useful in its own right.
<echo srcFile="usage.txt" />
<echo srcFile="file1" file="target_file"/>
<echo srcFile="file2" file="target_file" append="true" />
<echo srcFile="file3" file="target_file" append="true" />
But would this add extra line endings?
