Bill,
Wouldn't your approach invoke:
<exec program="devenv.com" commandline='libZ.vcproj /build
${build.config}'/>
even if libZ were up to date? Is this a bad thing? It seems so
from an efficiency standpoint. In comparison to make, it seems to me
that most NAnt scripts I've seen seem to do more work than the makefile
even though it is expressed much more compactly.
I think maybe I don't "get" something about the dependency model
of NAnt. Do tasks like cl somehow automatically check dependencies and
execute only when necessary? Or does it just invoke the compiler on
everything. I understand the depends attribute of target, but is there
some other nonobvious dependency checking going on somewhere in the
bowels of NAnt? How does this work?

btw, i would recommend being careful with the <call> task. it tends to
produce a more rigid call chain and can lead to redundant task calls.
cheers,
owen.
