We have the copy task so far, filtering would need to be added. I seem to remember John Lam has implemented this for his own version of NAnt but I haven't seen the code anywhere. I just think where a parallel for similar functionality exists (in Ant) it should be used if possible, unless it just doesn't apply to .NET.
The extended functionality in the form of FilterChains is pretty powerful [1], and would probably be a worthy extension to NAnt. I might have a crack at it in a couple of weeks when my schedule eases up a bit.
