That's a clever hack, but it won't work well in my situation, since some
of the filesets may be rooted in directories that cannot be created.
Wouldn't it be nice if the <fileset> tag had an attribute that allowed you
do say, "It's OK if it doesn't exist"? Something like this:
<fileset dir="somedir" if-base-dir-is-missing="ignore">...</fileset>
Anyone else have a good idea?
