<h2>Native2Ascii</h2>
<h3>Description:</h3>
<p>Converts files from native encodings to ascii with escaped Unicode.
A common usage is to convert source files maintained in a native
operating system encoding, to ascii prior to compilation.</p>
<p>All matching files in the source directory are converted from a
native encoding to ascii. If no encoding is specified, the default
encoding for the JVM is used. If ext is specified, then output
files are renamed to use it as a new extension. If dest and
src point to the same directory, ext is required.</p>
<p>This is a directory based task, and supports includes, includesfile,
excludes, excludesfile, and defaultexcludes along with its specific
attributes.</p>
