That way base nant will still work even if the config file gets trashed. Hmm now that I think about it - the executing assembly will always get scanned won't it - that means that you'll always have the tasks from nant.core.dll. How about leaving the defaults but having an "Ignore Default Directories" option in the config file. Seems a bit backward I know but its seems like better practice to steer the user towards using the defaults unless they really need to change them.
