Matt,

Thanks for the suggestion of using an includesfile attribute for the
<fileset> element.  Because the includesfile deals with "include
patterns", I originally dismissed it as a possible solution.  However,
now that I think about it a little more, as long as the file contains
explicit information (and not patterns), this this should work.
