<P>Task definition for the <CODE>outofdate</CODE> task. This is an
extension of uptodate which allows multible targets and contains an
embedded &lt;parallel&gt; or &lt;sequential&gt; element. If any of
the target file's dates are earlier than any of the source file's
dates, then the specified &lt;parallel&gt; or &lt;sequential&gt;
block is executed. The task may also contain mappers to map source
files to corresponding target files.

elements which are are used to select sets or lists of files or

  <p>The <i>sourcefiles</i> may contain no files. In this case, outofdate will

<P><B>mapper –</B> This is used to map source files to target

As well as the regular attributes for mapper, there is a extra attribute to specify
  the relative directory of the sources.<p>

The following example check the generated files, MODULE.IDS,
acme_agent_mib.h, acme_agent_mib.cpp are older that miblist.txt, or
any file in ${mib.src}, and if so an embedded shellScript is invoked
to update the files.</P>

The following example sets the project <I>manual.outofdate</I> if any
of the xml files are newer than index.html, or if any of the xml
files are newer than their corresponding .html file. A path
identified by <I>sources.path</I>, is created which contains the
sources that fullfilled these conditions.</P>

The following assumes that there is a program called <I>gengrammer</I>
that takes a grammer file as an input and generates a .h and a .c
file in the current directory.</P>
