So your utility requires, for the file "foo.in", e.g.:
utility foo.in blahfoo.in
but the target file is determined automatically?
(<mapper> w/o <targetfile>)
In this case I might have to recommend antcontrib's
<for>. Even if we added the ability to duplicate
<srcfile> and/or <targetfile>, "foo.in" would still be
a separate argument from "blah".
