Is there a way to suppress the error message if an ant copy source
file does not exist other than making the copy operation a target all
on its own with an <available and if condition?

It seems to me ANT would a lot simpler if every command supported the
if= and unless= option rather than just <target. Then you would not
need to create dummy targets for trivial operations.
