I was not thinking about the tasks that use filesets, but one that
creates filesets to be used by other tasks.  I guess we could make
fileset a task and then there is no difference at all.

See the other thread that came in later about generalized container
tasks.  Having something like <userselector classname="...."/> would
be a way consistent with mappers for example, but a more general
solution with a central registry is certainly the future goal.

I think there is general agreement, that we need a way to generate
sets of files based on criteria other than pattern matching.  Peter
wanted to put together a list of things that needed experimental work
IIRC.

Almost done. Will try to finish it Saturday ... last weekend saw the washing 
machine go kaput and my time along with it ;)
