Hello Stefan,

I think what Dominique means is that there should be a delete
capability equivalent to the copy capability.  for example...

This copy...

        <copy todir="${src.dir}" >
            <fileset dir="${src.dir}">
                <present present="srconly" targetdir="${src.dir}">
                    <mapper type="glob" from="sample.*" to="*" />
                </present>
            </fileset>
            <mapper type="glob" from="sample.*" to="*" />
        </copy>

Should be equivalent to this delete...
        
        <delete>
            <fileset dir="${src.dir}">
                <present targetdir="${src.dir}">
                    <mapper type="glob" from="sample.*" to="*" />
                </present>
            </fileset>
            <mapper type="glob" from="sample.*" to="*" />
        </delete>

one creates * files from sample.* files and the other deletes * files
that have a corresponding sample.* file.

Does that help make it clearer?
