Hi Peter,

I would like revisit this for  Ant1. I think there is enough
demonstrated user need that it makes sense for Ant1. There must be a
post every week asking for file attribute based FileSets.

I think that the Culler XML api is structured enough that if we come
up with a different API for Ant2 that a XSLT will be easy to write.

And, I would like to get it out sooner so that we have feedback for
Ant2.
