I like the wrapper idea. I never understood why NAnt included NDoc instead of just spawning it. Same thing applies to NUnit.
It would be cool to have a common way of detecting the packages locations. I think we can use pkgconfig approach on Unix and AssemblyFolders or other registry place on Windows (all we need to do is to convince the developers to provide the appropriate registration procedures or prepare them ourselves).
I had a similar thought - It would actually be nice if pkg-config could be adopted more across platforms. Theres no reason it couldn't work just as well on windows for .net libraries.
NAnt would then be able to provide a common way to get the paths:
package::installed('NUnit2') - true/false
package::get-version('NUnit2') - 2.2.0
package::get-lib-path('NUnit2') - "C:\Program Files\NUnit 2.2\bin"
package::get-exe-path('NUnit2') - "C:\Program Files\NUnit 2.2\bin"
we already have some pkg-config functions.
Of course, much more needs to be done to properly use versioning and framework support but that's the idea.
The only tough part is getting all relevant .net packages/projects to adopt such a package registration scheme.

Hi Jarek,
I'm still in flux on how to proceed with this. Adding all
documenters (and their dependencies, which at this time is only
the Interop.MSHelpCompiler.dll assembly) to the NAnt distribution
would increase the size of the NAnt distribution quite a lot (as
we have to include them for each support target framework).
If we do not include all documenters, then we should at least
provide more information to our users on how to make the other
documenters that available for usage by the <ndoc> task.
In the end, it would've been better if we could convert the <ndoc>
task to a wrapper for NDocConsole, but then we'd need to have some
mechanism on both Windows and Linux to discover the install
directory of NDoc.

Hi Gert!
Will NDoc.Documenter.Xml.dll and other documenters be included
in NAnt 0.85 ? Currently only NAnt and MSDN documenters are
available to <ndoc> task.
