Add regex conditions to Ant

           Summary: Add regex conditions to Ant
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.7Alpha (nightly)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Optional Tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: adagoubard@chello.nl


<containsregexp> and <matchesregexp>
 The first one would test a string if it contains a regular exression.
 The second one would test if a string matches a regular expression.

 Example:
 <condition propery="legal-password">
    <containsregexp pattern="[1-9]" value="${user-input}"/>
 </condition>
 <fail message="Your password should at least contain one number"
unless="legal-password"/>
 
 This feature has been discussed on Ant developer mailing list at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=108369006500001&r=1&w=2 and it seems that
nobody disagreed.
 I'll try to find some time this week or next week to implement them.
 
About the implementation:
 They should be in the optional package (as dependant of a regex library).
 <containsregexp pattern="" value="">
 both condition should also accept the <regexp> sub element.
