I would like to do the equivalent of a "find -newer reference_file ... | zip ... ", i.e., archiving all files newer than a reference_file. I would like to archive only the files that have changed since the last major archive into a smaller, faster, "delta" archive; much like an incremental backup works.

The <date> selector in a <fileset> looks like the logical solution, but it appears to only use a date-time string and not a reference file to specify the date.

Is there a way to use the date-time of a reference file, instead of a string, for the <date> selector? Is there a way to set a property with the date-time of a reference file so that the property can be passed to a <date> selector? Is there another way to accomplish my goal, such as a way to use <depend> with a single reference file?
