Combine the date selector with the <tstamp> task. In <tstamp>, you can
specify the offset and a property. For example:
<tstamp>
<format pattern="MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm aa" offset="-10" property="delete.date"/>
</tstamp>
This will set the ${delete.date} to ten days before today in the
format the date selector likes.
Then, using the selector:
<delete>
<fileset dir="${some.dir}">
<date datetime="${delete.date}" when="before"/>
</fileset>
</delete>
And, all files in ${some.dir} older than 10 days get deleted.
