...*Damn!* :-)
Yes, I see the "type"-attribute (I exactly want to differentiate into
"is-file", "is-directory" and "is-something-else").
Not really a simple condition, but it sure is there!

Still, how to implement generic conditions?

Is-file and is-dir exist already. It's called <available>, which is both a
Task and a Condition. --DD
