Summary: Fails when target net-3.5 with NET SDK 3.5 installed (No VS)

Initial Comment:
0.86-beta1

If you try and target the net-3.5 framework on a PC with _ONLY_
- Net Framework 3.5
- Windows Server 2008 and Net Framework 3.5 SDK
installed, you get an exception here:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an 
object.

Line 194 + 0xa bytes       C#

and Nant exits.

This is because the 3.5 SDK registry key has changed.

To fix, amend the Nant config file 3.5 framework configuration project node to 
try 2 locations for sdkInstallRoot:

                        <readregistry
                            property="sdkInstallRoot"
                            key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft 
SDKs\Windows\v6.1\WinSDKNetFxTools\InstallationFolder"
                            hive="LocalMachine"
                            failonerror="false" />
                        <readregistry
                            property="sdkInstallRoot"
                            key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft 
SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\WinSDKNetFxTools\InstallationFolder"
                            hive="LocalMachine"
                            failonerror="false"
                            unless="${property::exists('sdkInstallRoot')}" />

This is gonna become impossible to manage, if MS changes the key with each
release.

I'll look into this later. Can you try using the latest nightly build to
see if you still get the NullReferenceException?

Thx!
