Those are good questions.

My goal would be to get things working well enough so that the mono team
feels confident is using NAnt to do their builds.

The first step in getting "Mono Support" is in defining what is needed and
should be included for Mono. It would be good to list what parts of Mono are
missing, and what we need. Maybe it is too early to try to support mono,
maybe not.

For tasks that will never run on mono we should separate them from the core.
We should build separate assemblies for the tasks that require Win32
functionality. The other option is to use a compiler flag to strip out code
that will not compile on mono. It can get a little dirty, but we will need
to figure some strategy out. I think we are all open to suggestions. :)
