Built in Ant task Delete follows symbolic links by default

           Summary: Built in Ant task Delete follows symbolic links by
                    default
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.4
          Platform: HP
        OS/Version: HP-UX
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


The built-in Ant task 'Delete' appears to follow symbolic links by default 
without the option to not follow links.  Most programs on most unix systems 
either do not follow symbolic links by default and/or allow the option to 
follow symbolic links; it would be nice if Ant followed that same convention, 
at least giving the user the option before plastering files and directories 
that were links in the original delete path.
