I just saw this on the wix dev list. They've decided to use NAnt as their build tool - instead of msbuild or nmake. Its quite cool to see this - considering that the wix dev lead is at Microsoft. Interestingly - NAnts support for the c++ compiler was one of the main reasons for the decision.

heres the original blog post explaining the decision:

Just want to send a heads-up to anyone who might be pulling code out of CVS
that things are going to get rocky for the next day or three while I start
getting all of Justin's NAnt stuff up for WiX v2 into CVS.

At the end of this process it should be much easier to get code posted,
built, and released.  It's been painful in between times but hopefully this
will be the last week of it.

Anyway, beware downloading from CVS for the next few days until the process
is complete.
