Summary: directory::exists cannot resolve set properties

Initial Comment:
Perhaps I am doing this wrong but the directory::exists does not evaluate to 
true when using a property like so.

<property name="alpha-core-src-dir" value="c:\temp" />  

<if verbose="true" test="${directory::exists('${alpha-core-src-dir}')}">
   <echo message="found directory" />
</if>

However this does work but generates a deprecation error..

<available type="Directory" resource="${alpha-core-src-dir}" 
property="src-dir-exist" />                
<if verbose="true" test="${src-dir-exist}">
     <echo message="found directory" />
</if>

Should directory::exists be able to resolve a property to a value and test 
against that?

When properties are passed to functions, they do not need to be enclosed
in ${}.

So, use this instead:

<if verbose="true" test="${directory::exists(alpha-core-src-dir)}">
<echo message="found directory" />
</if>
