${file.separator} does not work for regexp mapper but that is a minor
issue; the real issue, IMHO, is using mappers within other tasks. For
example, the xslt/style allows a nested mapper type="regexp" but that
does not support the  handledirsep attribute. regexpmapper does, but
that subtask is not allowed by xslt!

Anyway, i just defined a project property to use within mappers and that
works well.

Thaniks,
