This is great information, thank you Daniel. I'm traveling for work right now and will be back on the 8th of March. Then I can dig into the details of a windows build. I'll mention again that I'm a windows developer, so this should be significantly faster, and require less help :).
You had mentioned before that TSVN uses NAnt? Is there some feature that you like? I've never used it and don't know much about it. Building ground up from source is a technique I've used over the years and has it's benefits. These days external components are generally nuget packages and our build process(s) pull each build (this is for an internal product used at the company I work for). I don't know in the open-source world which option is best, build everything from source, or take "official" libraries for dependencies. Any insight would be great on this, I can do either.
