Filters don't resolve nested filters..

           Summary: Filters don't resolve nested filters..
           Product: Ant

Since I don't get any responce via the dev mailinglist, here you have a bug. 
If the value of a filter token, contains another token, it will not be 
resolved. I am only using a property filter file, which has values like this :
db.path=/usr/local/db
db.control=@db.path@/control

etc,etc,etc.
In the current situation the db.path on the db.control line will not be 
resolved. 

I am attaching a path for this to work and a test case (which is independend of 
the testcases that already exist for the FilterSet. The naming can be a bit 
confusing, so feel free to rename the testcase..
I really badly need this, I don't care in which version, as long as it is in 
cvs. 

Some info about the patch :

- Nested tokens calls will be resolved 
- When an infinite loop could occur, it will return the originating token
