It's a known feature. To delete symbolic links, one must shell out to
the OS to remove it. I don't know about 1.4 and whether it deletes the
link instead of the target.

Subject: delete error
has anyone else noticed that when you do a "delete" operation, it
follows symbolic
links? This is really bad, especially for those of use using RCS
and/or
SCCS, when
we want to delete a checked out build structure automatically. Is this
fixed in Ant1.4?
