+ Hello,
+ 
+ This is what the Ant documentation recommends for moving a directory:
+ <snip>
+ Move a directory to a new directory
+ 
+   <move todir="new/dir/to/move/to">
+     <fileset dir="src/dir"/>
+   </move>
+ 
+ </snip>
+ For a UNIX machine, 'mv'ing a directory doesn't copy all the files to the new 
+ directory... but the one above does ! Is there any other way, by which I can do 
+ it the UNIX way?
