[NEW TASK] FiltersFromFile

Hi,

Attached you'll find a new Ant task that adds the capability of reading
filters from a file. Using this task you do not have to define all filters
using the<filter /> task in the build XML file. Advantages are that:
- The build XML file will remain smaller and easier to read
- You can switch the file containing the filters without changing the build
XML file. We use this in out project to generate property files for the
various deployment environments.

Hope this one can be added to the Ant distribution.

Regards,

Gero Vermaas
