I would expect this to work; however by faking the
target filename incremental builds won't work.  At
present it might be best to subclass apply to achieve
this.

Dev:  We should probably add either a nested mapper or
prepend/append attributes to srcfile and targetfile
elements in apply for future versions of Ant.
