Yes, easily - and Jan already provided that solution IIRC, but the
original requester didn't like it, it seemed.
This has one caveat, though. Say I want to delete all directories
that contain a file named foo and I have a structure like this
level1/
|
----> foo
|
----> level2/
|
---------> foo
both level1 and level2 will be matched, but the way Ant works,
<foreach> will invoke the target for level1 before it invokes it for
level2 - ending up trying to delete a directory that's no longer
preset (OK, quiet="true" should help here).
