Thanks for all your help folks. A custom help task ought to do the
job. Still seems to me that -projecthelp should parse any include
tags but hey, I can live with that limitation! :)
Would anyone be interested in a patch for that behaviour? Or is it
undesirable (as it seemed to be for Gary at least)?
Definately. I vaguely started looking at it a while ago but didn't get
much done. The current implementation uses an xslt stylesheet to process
the buildfile and generate the projecthelp output. Xslt probably isn't
really the right tool for this ( hey I was doing a lot of work with xslt
at the time and when you've got a hammer everything looks like a nail )
however some kind of custom parsing will likely be necessary - rather
than using NAnt's project class to load the includes. Remember that all
top level tasks in an included file get excuted at <include> time - not
ideal for -projecthelp if those top level tasks include things like
<copy> or <delete>.
Feel free to ping me or the list with any questions about the
implementation.

Matt,
I don't believe you can do what you would like to do. As I remember from some
previous question, --projecthelp doesn't actually cause the NAnt file to be processed
so <include> tasks and ${propertyname} substitutions aren't executed. Instead,
--projecthelp merely reads the NAnt file serially looking for certain attributes in
certain elements and reporting them.
