Just wanted to step out from lurking and add an example
<available file="${your.file.path.here}"
property="your.file.path.here.present"/>
<echo message="your.file.path.here.present: ${your.file.path.here.present}"/>
<!-- possible results: -->
<!-- your.file.path.here.present = path does not exist (note the property will
be undefined!) -->
<!-- true = path exists -->
<if>
<equals arg1="${your.file.path.here.present}" arg2="true"/>
<then>
</then>
<else>
</else>
</if>
