UPTODATE file-by-file on 2 directories ?

Hi - I suspect I ask something rather simple, but I am looking to use the 
UPTODATE task to check files in 2 directories as follows:

    <uptodate srcdir="X" targetdir="Y" ...>

    check that file "a/b/c/foo.x" is uptodate when compared with file 
"a/b/c/foo.y" for EACH file/sub-folder - in other words, assume that source 
and target folders have same structure (sub-folders, files, etc.) - except 
maybe for the file(s) suffix(es).

Can anyone suggest how to configure the UPTODATE task (which mapper, what 
expression to use) to achieve this goal ?

Thanks.

maybe or maybe not?

<mapper type="glob" from="*.x" to="*.y"> would do, if they were always
different in that way.  Otherwise a combination of different glob
mappers within a compositemapper may work.
