excludesfile must exist?

[Erik Hatcher]

I haven't been in the internals of Ant for a while, my apologies.  I 
recall this coming up before.... any objections to changing how 
<fileset> handles excludesfile (and I'm assuming includesfile) such 
that existence of the file is not mandatory?   Logging that the file 
doesn't exist seems appropriate if we make this change.  If the file 
doesn't exist, it should act as if that attribute was not specified.

I'm speaking from Ant 1.6.2, and haven't looked to see if this has 
changed in the latest codebase yet.

I just hit this issue in my current project where I'm trying to work 
around a handful of invalid XML files with <xslt> by using 
excludesfile.

Thanks,
        Erik
