Hi,

Isn't it time to retire NAnt and just simply build projects with MSBuild?
The benefits being:

   - having one build technology,
   - sln/csproj (references and sources) are 'automatically' in sync with
   what's on the disk,
   - just open a sln and it compiles without running NAnt first(we create a
   little exe that creates/updates AssemblyInfo on the PreBuildEvent).

SharpDevelop, being a pretty big project, is entirely being build by MSBuild
so it should be possible for us also, especially now that the projects are
split up.

On Mono there's xbuild <http://www.mono-project.com/Microsoft.Build>, and
from what I read
here<http://ankitjain.org/blog/2009/10/02/xbuild-and-mono-2-6p1/>it's
very much up to the task on Mono 2.6.

I am currently investigating, but want to check if there's anything I am
grossly overlooking i.e. what NAnt does and MSBuild can't. For extending
MSBuild I am using http://msbuildtasks.tigris.org/
