I've been using PSake for build/test/deploy on some home projects and am pretty happy with it. Many wtf moments though with powershell though, so the F#/FAKE alternative sound appealing (I don't know F# but hey its functional). I do not think I'd go through the effort to make C# available from the command-line given powershell is already there. File manipulation in powershell is much smoother than C#.
