Eric, At this point I'm only using Nant to perform test builds and run unit tests at some regular frequency (nightly or continuously?). This is all done on a dedicated server.
Each developer is responsible for grabbing the source code and modifying the config files (custom or .config) to suit his development environment. If we send anything to be QA tested or out for release we send out a setup program and we have scripts that run as part of the setup package that modify file paths. Connection strings usually have to be manhandled to get them right, however. I'm interested in what you've developed as maybe a way to help each particular person modify the config file as they seem fit. Currently I'm using XMLNotepad for that just to make it easier to read then opening the XML file in Notepad. If you'd post your code, I'll give it a look-see and see what I can do with it.
