  Description     : .NET build tool similar to Ant
 NAnt is different.  Instead of a model where it is extended with
 shell-based commands, NAnt is extended using task classes.  Instead of
 writing shell commands, the configuration files are XML-based, calling
 out a target tree where various tasks get executed.  Each task is run
 by an object that implements a particular Task interface.
 .
 Granted, this removes some of the expressive power that is inherent in
 being able to construct a shell command such as 'find . -name foo -exec
 rm {}', but it gives you the ability to be cross-platform - to work
 anywhere and everywhere. And hey, if you really need to execute a shell
 command, NAnt has an task that allows different commands to be executed
 based on the OS it is executing on.
