I thought for myself to create a <scriptselector> where you simply
implement the isSelected() method.
Base should be the BaseExtendSelector and the script gets
basedir, filename and file (the arguments of isSelected()) as
populated variables.
<fileset>
<scriptselector language="javascript">
return file.canWrite();
</scriptselector>
</fileset>
