FileSet and DirSet break if the directory does not exist

Regarding comments of Jose Alberto Fernandez

If I got the following task

        <uptodate property="toto.notRequired">
            <srcfiles refid="toto.class.fileset"/>
            <srcfiles refid="toto.otherfiles.fileset"/>
            <mapper type="merge" to="${toto.dir}/ejb-jar.xml"/>
        </uptodate>

Suppose the fileset toto.class.fileset point to a inexisting directory just
after a clean.  And that some file in toto.otherfiles.fileset always exist.  If
they are uptodate regarding ejb-jar.xml, the task will conclude that the file
are uptodate.  The behavior I would like would be to that task with inexisting
fileset are never uptodate.

I think fileset for directory that doesn't exist should always throws a error
when used from task like compile.  It's only when called from task like uptodate
that it is acceptable.  I think what we need is different behavior when the
fileset is called from different task, not a attribute that modify the behavior
for all task.
