I don't see that the code ever allowed for this -- although, certainly the
doc seems to imply it should work.

I've modified Delete.java to work this way now, but I'll need to pass it
by ant-dev to see if a) they agree it doesn't work (maybe there is
something not only you but I'm not doing right as well), b) they agree it
should work this way, and c) my coding doesn't make them run screaming
into the night :)
