xslt task only on files in a subdirectory
I have a project that contains some XML files in a directory called
"src". However, because I must perform several conversions on them, I
copy them to a directory called "build" and then run the xslt task on
them several times. I want to run this task only on the files that have
been copied to build, and additionally leave the resulting files in
build (with a different extension). Therefore, a file originally called
src/foo.xml should first be copied to build/foo.xml and then transformed
into build/foo.tmp and then into build/foo.xhtml.
However, despite my best attempts, I cannot get ant to run the xslt task
only on the files within the build directory that have a given glob
pattern. It seems to operate on any file with the given extension that
it can get its hands on, and additionally copies them into odd places.
I've tried to fool with the xslt destdir attribute and the fileset dir
attribute, but neither seems to produce quite the right results. In
this testcase, the sole source file is src/foo.xml, and I'd like to have
ant produce build, build/foo.xml, build/foo.tmp, and build/foo.xhtml,
and nothing else.
I've looked through the both the manual and the past few months of list
archives and didn't see any clues; Google has been similarly unhelpful.
The build.xml file has been attached (inline), and the output is below.

Ah, I found the problem: I needed to use the useImplicitFileset="false"
option, which I hadn't seen since my manual was out-of-date.
Thanks anyway, and sorry for the bother.
