Ok.

I use the m2 tasks which are a bit clunky (ant support is sadly an 
afterthought, not a forethought), but they set up paths datatypes. The 
problem then becomes one of going from a path ref to a list of jars in 
the WAR file.

Ant1.7 will have two ways to do this

  - <copypath> ( a quick and dirty hack to do just this)
  -a broadly extensible resource model with integration into things like 
<copy>, so I could go <copy toDir="build/lib><path refid=imports.path" 
/></copy> and hopefully have copy do all the work.
