Note I've renamed this thread.
A while ago, I posted a pathconvert task that does exactly as you
mention. I've since made a couple of changes to make it more flexible
and I'll re-post it later today.
All that needs to be done now is to allow a fileset to have an id. I've
never looked at the code to see how that is done. I'll take a look and
see.
So, assuming that the id change is simple, I'll post patches and a new
task that will accomplish this later today.
