It appears to me from the documentation of the Mapper Type [1]
that regexmapper/@handledirsep could be used to accomplish the job.

It could fit in here.
> </copy>
> </target>
> </project>
Unfortunately, however, the <copy> task in Ant 1.8.1 does not support
a nested <regexmapper>.
copy doesn't support the nested "regexmapper" element.
You need a plain <mapper>, but:
mapper doesn't support the "handledirsep" attribute
Looks like there is still potential to improve composability.
