I've long since given up on <uptodate>, and use the great
<outofdate> task from Peter, in Ant-Contrib. Was designed
to replace Makefile rules, so maybe it has the equivalent
to $? for only the out of dates files.

Check it out. --DD

The outoutdate task can set the files that are outofdate in a <path>
reference using the "outputsourcespath" attribute.
More tasks however only accept filesets, so the path needs to be
converted to a fileset using ant-contribs pathtofileset task.
However this makes for quite messy build scripts.
An example is given in:
http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/tasks/pathtofileset.html
