/**
 * <p>Selector class that uses <i>Algorithm</i>, <i>Cache</i> and <i>Comparator</i>
 * for its work.
 * The <i>Algorithm</i> is used for computing a hashvalue for a file.
 * The <i>Comparator</i> decides whether to select or not.
 * The <i>Cache</i> stores the other value for comparison by the <i>Comparator</i>
 * in a persistent manner.</p>
 *
 * <p>The ModifiedSelector is implemented as a <b>CoreSelector</b> and uses default
 * values for all its attributes therefore the simpliest example is <pre>
 *   <copy todir="dest">
 *       <filelist dir="src">
 *           <modified/>
 *       </filelist>
 *   </copy>
 * </pre></p>
 *
 * <p>The same example rewritten as CoreSelector with setting the all values
 * (same as defaults are) would be <pre>
 *   <copy todir="dest">
 *       <filelist dir="src">
 *           <modified update="true"
 *                     cache="propertyfile"
 *                     algorithm="digest"
 *                     comparator="equal">
 *               <param name="cache.cachefile"     value="cache.properties"/>
 *               <param name="algorithm.algorithm" value="MD5"/>
 *           </modified>
 *       </filelist>
 *   </copy>
 * </pre></p>
 *
 * <p>And the same rewritten as CustomSelector would be<pre>
 *   <copy todir="dest">
 *       <filelist dir="src">
 *           <custom class="org.apache.tools.ant.type.selectors.ModifiedSelector">
 *               <param name="update"     value="true"/>
 *               <param name="cache"      value="propertyfile"/>
 *               <param name="algorithm"  value="digest"/>
 *               <param name="comparator" value="equal"/>
 *               <param name="cache.cachefile"     value="cache.properties"/>
 *               <param name="algorithm.algorithm" value="MD5"/>
 *           </custom>
 *       </filelist>
 *   </copy>
 * </pre></p>
 *
 * <p>If you want to provide your own interface implementation you can do
 * that via the *classname attributes. If the classes are not on Ant's core
 * classpath, you will have to provide the path via nested <classpath>
 * element, so that the selector can find the classes. <pre>
 *   <modified cacheclassname="com.mycompany.MyCache">
 *       <classpath>
 *           <pathelement location="lib/mycompony-antutil.jar"/>
 *       </classpath>
 *   </modified>
 * </pre></p>
 *
 * <p>All these three examples copy the files from <i>src</i> to <i>dest</i>
 * using the ModifiedSelector. The ModifiedSelector uses the <i>PropertyfileCache
 * </i>, the <i>DigestAlgorithm</i> and the <i>EqualComparator</i> for its
 * work. The PropertyfileCache stores key-value-pairs in a simple java
 * properties file. The filename is <i>cache.properties</i>. The <i>update</i>
 * flag lets the selector update the values in the cache (and on first call
 * creates the cache). The <i>DigestAlgorithm</i> computes a hashvalue using the
 * java.security.MessageDigest class with its MD5-Algorithm and its standard
 * provider. The new computed hashvalue and the stored one are compared by
 * the <i>EqualComparator</i> which returns 'true' (more correct a value not
 * equals zero (1)) if the values are not the same using simple String
 * comparison.</p>
 *
 * <p>A useful scenario for this selector is inside a build environment
 * for homepage generation (e.g. with <a href="http://forrest.apache.org/">
 * Apache Forrest</a>). <pre>
 * <target name="generate-and-upload-site">
 *     <echo> generate the site using forrest </echo>
 *     <antcall target="site"/>
 *
 *     <echo> upload the changed files </echo>
 *     <ftp server="${ftp.server}" userid="${ftp.user}" password="${ftp.pwd}">
 *         <fileset dir="htdocs/manual">
 *             <modified/>
 *         </fileset>
 *     </ftp>
 * </target>
 * </pre> Here all <b>changed</b> files are uploaded to the server. The
 * ModifiedSelector saves therefore much upload time.</p>
 *
 *
 * <p>This selector uses reflection for setting the values of its three interfaces
 * (using org.apache.tools.ant.IntrospectionHelper) therefore no special
 * 'configuration interfaces' has to be implemented by new caches, algorithms or
 * comparators. All present <i>set</i>XX methods can be used. E.g. the DigestAlgorithm
 * can use a specified provider for computing its value. For selecting this
 * there is a <i>setProvider(String providername)</i> method. So you can use
 * a nested <i><param name="algorithm.provider" value="MyProvider"/></i>.
 *
