Hi, I can start working on SLingshoT so it will produce the global build file that would call the vcproj task on each of the projects.
Matthew please send me the latest version of the vcproj task. Also some sugestions or template for this global project would be handy. Have you been thinking about supporting additional reference paths (see my earlier postings)? Do we drop for now the functionality to produce the NMake makefiles? In any case I would like to keep SLingshoT as a command line util along with a NAnt task.

I can do this alongside any work to separate the .build files into per-project files. Who would I ask for CVS commit access to the NAnt core? I won't commit anything without posting a patch for review on the list first. Ian MacLean wrote: > Szymon, > I'm in agreement with your suggestion.
