Sure thing.  Here is an example:

<dependset>
  <srcfiles
     dir  = "${basedir}"
     includes  = "${cookie.file.path}, ${dtd.file.path}, common.xsl"/>
  <targetfiles
    dir = "${basedir}"
     includes = "${output.dir}/*.html"/>
</dependset>

<srcfiles> and <targetfiles> are filesets

You can specify arbitrarily many <srcfiles> and/or <targetfiles>, but at 
least one of each.

If any of the files specified in <srcfiles> is more recent than any of 
the files
specified in <targetfiles>, all <targetfiles> are removed.

This is the simplest possible syntax I could come up with.  Let me know
if you like it.

My implementation makes use of MergeMapper and SourceFileScanner.  
I had to make a few extensions to each.  
I believe these extensions are useful beyond just <dependset>.

Seems to be "Go with the flow, don't try to control it."
