Yes, but only with the CVS version of Ant. I added a 'file' attribute
to FileSet such that you can now say this:
<fileset file="/some/path/to/a/file.txt"/>
And it will create the fileset with only that one file. Internally it
does the same thing as the basename and includes, but its much more
pleasant to work with and you don't have to worry about property
immutability biting you! :)
