Ok, I'll update the Delete task to do the same.

Yes this is definitely available in Ant. In Ant there's a <condition> task
(http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/condition.html) that will set a
specified attribute to a value ("true" by default) depending on the
underlying conditions (
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/conditions.html). This is really
powerful.
We should consider something similar.
