Defining location of files and dirs with location
attribute comes vary handy when one deals with
mappers. This attribute allows you to cite the files
with their relative (to ${basedir}) names and yet Ant
deals works with their absolute paths taking care of
slashes and backslashes.

I believe you can do it:
    <pathconvert property="all.files"
pathsep="${line.separator}"
        refid="all.files.fs">
        <globmapper
from="${basedir}${file.separator}*" to="@*"/>
    </pathconvert>

In the examples above, we use <fileset>s which
collects the files in a random way, which is not
controlled by Ant, but by the underlying OS. If you
deal only with not so many different extensions you
can define <fileset>s for each of them and repeat
pathconvert + mapper trick for each <fileset> (and
that sounds like a  <macrodef>)
