John you are doing a great job documenting stuff about nant but what you have a slight
error on your Effective NAnt article.
http://www.iunknown.com/Weblog/EffectiveNAnt.html
NAnt evaluates properties at time of execution (very early versions didn't) so you
should easily be able to have a target called with a different property. The problem
is that by default nant will not execute a target if it has already been called. You
can override this with the force attribute on the call task.
ie,
<project default="build">
<target name="compile">
<echo message="compiling with debug = ${debug}"/>
</target>
<target name="build">
<property name="debug" value="false"/>
<call target="compile"/>
<property name="debug" value="true"/>
<call target="compile" force="true"/> <!-- notice the force attribute
-->
</target>
</project>
I will add this example to the CallTask documentation.
