Automating Visual Studio builds

Found the NAnt style task and the VSConvert.xsl XSLT for generating NAnt build files from Visual Studio project files.

It failed to properly convert non-local references. There is a <lib> element for the <csc> task that could be used or you can use fully qualified path names.

I modified the directory names used to avoid conflict with those used by the IDE. i.e. nantbin instead of bin.

A brief attempt at getting the VSNAntAddin working failed using both the IDE build and NAnt build procedures. Didn’t pursue it at this time.
