[nant-dev] resgen and resx tasks

[Ian MacLean]

I notice that we have both a resgen and a resx task in dotnet tasks. The 
only differences I see is that resgen wraps the resgen.exe while <resx> 
uses the api's directly and resx only takses a single input file instead 
of a fileset. Is there some other difference I'm not aware of ?

Normally I'd prefer using the api's directly. However when targetting 
multiple runtimes/frameworks it makes more sense to wrap the .exe. So 
that if the NAnt instance I'm running is using .Net 1.0 to run against 
but I want to compile using 1.1 tools then wrapping resgen.exe enables 
us to load the version from the 1.1 directory.

Should we remove the resx tassk to avoid confusion ?
