Do you really mean a properties file? e.g.
filestoinclude=foo,bar,baz,blah,whatever,etc
Then you can simply use <fileset dir="wheretolook"
includes="${filestoinclude}" /> after loading the
properties file.
If you actually mean a separate file containing only
the names of the files to include, you'd use an
includesfile with <fileset> (common basedir/relative
paths) or <files> (absolute paths). Note that these
are one pattern per line, however, and don't support
comments (If you needed to support comments, you could
<concat> and filter the original). If you really need
a single line containing comma-delimited files, you
could filter that to an includesfile as well. The
good thing about includesfiles is that you can use
them to specify paths with whitespace; IIRC you can't
do that with <fileset|files>' includes attribute.
