Re: [Mono-dev] Some MSBuild porting progress
Well, the idea would be to fix all major issues before we switch. But I do not see the value of keeping the two around.

That way people don't have to worry about backward compatibility and switch to new build engine simply by switching to msbuild from xbuild. That also fills gap between .NET and Mono. I even have created mcs/tools/msbuild before (unfinished, not part of build yet).

In any case we can keep Microsoft.Build.Engine in Mono for backwards compatibility and add the new ones for xbuild and MD. Because we only would need it if the IDE needed it, and in that case, hopefully we could replace it? But the idea is to make xbuild the script just use the new msbuild.
