Thanks a lot for all the suggestions. I've upgraded Ant to 1.7 as I like
this scriptmapper solution because it seems the simplest and most elegant.
I've been trying to get it working but so far no joy.

This is what I have:
...
<copy todir="${build.dir}/images/characters/icons">
	<fileset dir="images/characters/icons"/>
	<scriptmapper language="javascript"> 
		self.addMappedName(source.toLowerCase());				
	</scriptmapper>
</copy>
...

But it currently does nothing at all. If I take out the scriptmapper task
however it goes ahead and copies the 2000+ files (obviously not to lowercase
names as I would like). My files are of the form, Archery_Aim.gif etc. and
the uppercase characters can occur anywhere - I'm not sure if this is
relevant but I thought I'd mention it.

(I'm not bothered about directory names as they are all in lowercase
anyway).
