With <uptodate property="propname"> and <target unless="propname"/> you only
handle one file.
You´ll do that pattern for optional things, e.g. testing or reports.
But if you want to catch multiple files at once the <depend> selector [1] is
your friend.
* You create a fileset selecting all idl files which are newer than its h-files.
<fileset dir="${idl.dir}" includes="**/*.idl">
<depend
