Ant question



Slightly off-topic, but I wonder if anyone can answer a quick Ant question? Most tasks within Ant are clever and "know" which are the output file(s) and which the input(s) so it knows whether the outputs are out of date and need to be rebuilt. However, I have a few external scripts and want to explicitly say "execute this task (or this target) only if file x is older than file y or if file x is missing", just like an old-fashioned makefile. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious but I can't immediately work out how to do this from the Ant manual.
