"MSBuild is the [extensible, scalable, transparent] next generation build engine and platform for Visual Studio .NET. Many of our sharpest PMs, developers, testers, and yes, even writers, are feverishly working on this project.
A number of folks with whom I've discussed MSBuild--including several enterprise development consultants in the field--believe that it just might be the single most important feature innovation in our pipeline. And if you consider how many one-off build tools and convoluted prescriptive build processes have been developed (or evolved) since the release of VS.NET 2002, it's hard to argue with them."
ooh, xML build tools are now 'strategic'. wow. And I just thought they were damage limitation. I wonder how many lines of msbuild will it take to compile a COM typelib into a .NET assembly, disassemble that assembly, patch up the declarations to marshall arrays properly and reassemble it. In ant1.6 that takes 12 lines, if you go for the human-readable option.
