I would like to add the file size to a variety of JNLP

It confounds me that there seems to be no way in
ant, to retrieve the size of a file as an integer figure
of bytes.

Did I miss something? Either that provides that
functionality, or in the way ant works/is supposed to
work (e.g. write a custom task).

(BTW - ideally I am after an X-plat way, but for my own
purposes, even something 'exec' for Win. XP will do..)

Since Ant 1.6.3.
