zip/unzip should have the capability to use a mapper

           Summary: zip/unzip should have the capability to use a mapper
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6Alpha (nightly)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: kovesp@sympatico.ca


Zip (and Unzip) task and children should allow a mapper. There is a clear 
concept of a source file (what is being zipped) and a target name (how the 
name appears in the archive). The zipfileset element already supports this in 
a very limited way through the prefix attribute. This is not general enaough. 
I would like to do this:
<zip destfile="collectedClasses.zip">
   <zipgroupfileset dir="zips/">
      <include name="*.zip"/>
   </zipgroupfileset>
   <mapper type="glob" from="bin/*.class" to="*.class"/>
</zip>

This would collect all class files from the set of zip files in the zips 
directory. In the zip files there is a bin directory which contains the actual 
classpaths, so it needs to be removed.
