I haven't had a chance to play around with this, but you might want to
look at the file mappers:
<http://ant.apache.org/manual/Types/mapper.html> to get what you want
done.

Another possibility is the antcontrib task of <foreach>. This can take
a list of files from a fileset, and apply something to each one of
them. You might be able to specify each one you want to copy this way.
