I like this; in fact it seem entirely natural that,
Ant 1.7, having ResourceCollections,
ResourceComparators, and ResourceSelectors, should
also have a compare ResourceSelector that uses a
Comparison "when" EA to select Resources that are
eq/ne/gt/lt/ge/le a given resource according to
specified ResourceComparators.  I will try to get this
in soon with an example that speaks to this use case.
