Is it possible to take the contents of a property and modify each item within 
the property to append a wildcard in order to turn them into patterns that can 
be used within <fileset dir="..." includes="${patternproperty}" /> ?

property1 = string1,string2,string3,string4

And patternproperty is constructed based on property1 to result in:
patternproperty = string1*,string2*,string3*,string4*


All of the filters appear to be line based, although replaceregex in the 
tokenfilter might work for me if I can construct the appropriate regular 
expression.

Outside of that all I can think of is use of exec or apply on to call some 
shell script to do the manipulation and set an output property.

It seems that manipulation of properties is not something that's supported by 
Ant and I'll have to go to antcontrib for that or am I missing any other 
options?
