Summary: Fails when target net-3.5 with NET SDK 3.5 installed (No VS)

Initial Comment:
0.86-beta1

If you try and target the net-3.5 framework on a PC with _ONLY_
- Net Framework 3.5
- Windows Server 2008 and Net Framework 3.5 SDK
installed, you get an exception here:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an 
object.

Line 194 + 0xa bytes       C#

and Nant exits.

This is because the 3.5 SDK registry key has changed.

To fix, amend the Nant config file 3.5 framework configuration project node to 
try 2 locations for sdkInstallRoot:

                        <readregistry
                            property="sdkInstallRoot"
                            key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft 
SDKs\Windows\v6.1\WinSDKNetFxTools\InstallationFolder"
                            hive="LocalMachine"
                            failonerror="false" />
                        <readregistry
                            property="sdkInstallRoot"
                            key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft 
SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\WinSDKNetFxTools\InstallationFolder"
                            hive="LocalMachine"
                            failonerror="false"
                            unless="${property::exists('sdkInstallRoot')}" />
