Why this has not been done before is beyond me, but its something I can't live without! :)

I typically have properties that refer to a JAR file, but its very difficult to construct a fileset to copy it or include it in a WAR/EAR - so this change fixes this.  <fileset file="${some.jar}"/>

If this change is ok with everyone I'll take care of documenting it.
