I've just checked in a p4sync task into nantcontrib. Please grab a 
nightly and try it out. More p4 tasks to come - add, submit etc.
   

Works like a charm! I had to tweak the build file (patch attached) and build NAntContrib CVS head with .NET 1.0 -- couldn't figure out how to work around build errors with .NET 1.1. Once I got it built, though, everything was fine.

I got as far in my own efforts as to build a base class with support for Ant's p4.{port|client|user|passwd} properties. I figure it'll be useful in producing buildfiles that work on both developer boxes and build machines. Is that level of compatibility with Ant's Perforce tasks -- http://ant.apache.org/manual/OptionalTasks/perforce.html -- something of interest? Or with Ant tasks in general?

I also attached a minimal p4print task. We use it to fetch a clientspec file and feed it to 'p4 client -i' so that's the next task I'll work on. (Maybe after flush -- another one we use.) Should I send them to nantcontrib-developer?
