I noticed, that the newest mono release includes nant 0.85-rc-something, whereas no nant is released as part of version 1.1.13.8? This is quite confusing. What are the directions of the mono project? Is there a commitment from Novell (or someone else) on the xbuild project, or should we rather look at nant?

I am not a big MS fan myself, but it seems that MSBuild is a sensible system (inspired by nant, apparently). Having a compatible crossplatform tool for mono would appear to be a good thing. Especially since this would allow the Windows developers to remain in Visual Studio all the time, which appears to be a high priority for them...
