The outoutdate task can set the files that are outofdate in a <path>
reference using the "outputsourcespath" attribute.
More tasks however only accept filesets, so the path needs to be
converted to a fileset using ant-contribs pathtofileset task.
However this makes for quite messy build scripts.
An example is given in:
