I forgot to add that, right now, can't find a way to get the tests in nantcontrib to compile... TblTaskTest derives from Nant's BaseTest class, which was modified to fit into NUnit2, and if I modify everything in nantcontrib to suite NUnit2, I can't run the tests anymore from the buildfile... talk about a catch 22.
