Yes  - outputtargetspath sets a reference to a path that contains all 
the targets
that need to be updated and alltargetspath sets a reference to a path that
contains all the targets.
Note that this is not very usefull as filesets cannot contain files that
do not exist and so <pathtofileset> in this situation will not make a 
fileset
that contains targets that need to be created.
