Why not be a little less specific, and just have one
or more tasks capable of setting a property based on
the timestamps of the files in one or more <fileset>s?
Then you could have an attribute to accept values
"min|max|mean|median|mode" or the like... You could
even have an "attribute" attribute to accept values
"lastmodified|length" since length is something else
people often want but have access to only through
scripts. I can't think of a nice name for such a
task, but...
...once you have used this hypothetical task you can
use <touch> on the target file. Or wrap the whole
thing in a <macrodef> if you like.
