Available not using passed filepath

           Summary: Available not using passed filepath
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5.3
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jhkeller@ucdavis.edu


The available task does not seem to be using the passed in filepath.  I've
attempted to include it in two ways: via the nested <filepath> attribute (with
enclosed <dirset> and by generating a path object in the same way, using
<pathconvert> and passing it in as an attribute.  Finally, I hard-coded a string
into the attribute.

This code:
<project name="temp" basedir="C:\" default="test">
  <target name="test">
    <available file="jedit.exe" property="jedit.exists" filepath="C:\jedit"/>
    <echo message="jedit.exists: ${jedit.exists}"/>
  </target>
</project>

Yields the following:

test:
Unable to find file C:\jedit.exe to set property jedit.exists

Note that it only tested for C:\jedit.exe.  It should have tested for
C:\jedit\jedit.exe
