I thought a little bit about this task and I think it may be possible to
solve this with the existing task (if there will be a little change). You
could use

    <apply executable="rm" dest="D:\temp\d1" parallel="false">
      <targetfile/>
      <fileset dir="D:\temp\d2" includes="*"/>
      <mapper type="identity"/>
    </apply>

Which will find the files which are in D:\temp\d2 but not in D:\temp\d1.
Problem is that the name of the sourcefile is automatically appended and you
will get get error-messages from the operating system since they don't exist
:-) Don't know if this really is a problem? Another problem might be that it
can't execute shell-commands on Windows (and Unix??) since something like
"cmd /c del" as an executable is changed to "cmd \c del" on execution.

So if we would change the bahaviour of apply (and executeon) to only append
sourcefile's automatically if none of </srcfile> and </targetfile> is
specified it should do it's work. But that may break builds.
