I put this into a file called xmlfunctions.incbuild which I <include> into my main project build scripts. You can use the functions as normal like this:
<property name="my-xml-value" value="xml::get-value(filepath, xpath)"/>

I also have some functions in a <script> element that can perform various tasks on XML - get the number of matches to a certain query, get the XML children of a certain element, get the value of an XML node (basically like the peek task but using the ${x} syntax, which can be a bit cleaner). I'm at home at the mo, but when I get to work, I'll post the code for it. Nothing clever, really, just darn useful.
