At this point, I've gotten to the point where I can define two
properties for each "grouped" resource, a "dir" and a "list" (where each
list entry just has a file name, not a path). I then define the
"filelist" in the "path" element, specifying both properties. That
works. I wish I could specify a single list property and reference that
directly, and have Ant figure it out.
