task to "scrub" installation directories

[Mike McNally <m5...@works.com>]

I have a memory of reading this somewhere in the Ant manual,
but I can't find it now: what I'd like is a task that removes
files present in an install directory but absent from the source
staging directory.  (Specifically: remove .class files from the 
install tree that have no corresponding .class file in the 
build tree.)

Thanks.

You want <delete> together with a <present> and probably a <not>
selector.
