[Contribution] New tasks

[Corriveau Stephan <St...@cgi.com>]

	Hi,

	I've develloped 3 little custom tasks, I think it would be valuable
to other users of Ant. Here is a brief description of theses tasks :

	1. EvaluateProperty : This task enables the user to compare the
contain of a property  to a value (or a Regexp) and execute a task or a set
of tasks (through the <antcall> tag).  
	
	2. Iterate: This task enables the users to iterate through one or
many filesets and perform  Ant tasks. The full path of the file is pass
through a property which the name is determined by the user.

	3. For : Like the name suggest, its a for loop ! It cant be
configure to run ant task for a specific number or iteration.

	
	let me know if you're interested in my contribution to this project.


	Best regards.

Stephan,

most of what you describe has been suggested before - and been
declined as parts of core Ant for various reasons.

Fortunately it is possible to distribute Ant tasks separately, one
project that does so is the ant-contrib project as sourceforge.  You
will find that this project already contains tasks that do the same
(or similar) things as yours.  Maybe you want to help the people there
by merging your ideas with theirs?
