Having said that - a <which> task or function would be a great addition to nant.
I don't believe the available task currently does any searching either - it just does an exists test on the file path that you give it.

Well, it would probably be called <which> or something close (like Unix's which utility that says where on your PATH a given command exists).
Ant already has <whichresource> in CVS HEAD and ISTR there also is/was a <whichfile>, but I don't remember where.
Basically, the <which> task in Ant would do the same as <available> - i.e. look the file up in a given <path> - but set the property to the file's location.
