This is almost the same as the namespace issue but in a different form.
I think its a good idea. Howver the outer tag should probably be
<propertygroup> or somthing like that. I think the . seperator is fine.
I don't see a need for allowing custom seperators - it just seems to me
that it would add unnecessary confusion. '.' is already a pseudo
standard by its use for 'nant'. properties.
On a slightly different not it would be nice if we extended -projecthelp
to show all global properties ( or maybe a different option ). There was
a question on Nant-Users about how to reference environment variables.
If you could get a dump of all env, nant and custom global props it
would help the learning process.
