DESCRIPTION

       NAnt  is  a  .Net build tool similar to Ant.  The build environment is configured using an
       XML file and extended using  .Net  classes  rather  than  executing  separate  shell-based
       commands.  Each task is run by an object that implements a particular Task interface.
