I'll add another annoying me too message to this thread. We have a fairly complex Ant build script (just under 1000 lines, not counting external properties files and a separate 300 line bootstrap nightly build.xml) and it would be so much better with foreach and if tasks.
Yes, we could use the contrib tasks but there is some internal resistance to using non-core tasks and I don't have much say in what goes into our CVS controlled version of Ant. So having them in the core set of tasks would be preferable.
