I recommend highly *against* using <filter> because it defines a global=20
filterset that can be trouble later.  I'd recommend you use nested=20
<filterset>'s for the tasks like <copy> where you need them.

The token can be changed on <filterset>.  See its documentation:

	http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/CoreTypes/filterset.html
