Sorry to have to reopen this again, but your solution does not work if what you 
are trying to do is delete a directory. Yes, the directory pointed to by the 
symbolic link was not touched which is great. But, the symbolic link was not 
deleted either. So, if I had wanted to delete the "alpha" directory completely, 
I cannot. 

Here is a script I have been testing with along with the output:

<project name="deltest" default="delete">
  <target name="delete">
    <exec executable='ls' os='UNIX:Linux:SunOS'>
      <arg value="-alR"/>
    </exec>
    <mkdir dir="xx/yy"/>
    <touch file="xx/yy/f1"/>
    <touch file="xx/yy/f2"/>
    <mkdir dir="aa"/>
    <touch file="aa/f3"/>
    <touch file="aa/f4"/>
    <exec executable='ln' os='UNIX:Linux:SunOS'>
      <arg value='-s'/>
      <arg path='aa'/>
      <arg path='xx/yy/zz'/>
    </exec>
    <exec executable='ls' os='UNIX:Linux:SunOS'>
      <arg value="-alR"/>
    </exec>
    <delete verbose="true" includeEmptyDirs="true">
      <fileset dir="xx" followsymlinks="false">
        <include name="yy/**"/>
      </fileset>
    </delete>
    <exec executable='ls' os='UNIX:Linux:SunOS'>
      <arg value="-alR"/>
    </exec>
  </target>
</project>
