-------------------------------------------

Hi, what I was looking for is the negative version of util:available. If 
ant:available exists, maybe util:available is not recommended? The 
util:available tag accepts a file and an uri. I suppose the ant:available 
doesn't provide the same functionality? The thing is that there are quite a few 
places I've seen where mkdir gets called regardless if the directory exists. 
While the overhead is not a problem, I think that it would improve readability 
of jelly scripts.

Thanks,

Nacho
