Hey Charles,
The bootstrap version only contains those assemblies that are required to
build the full version.
These assemblies are known to build on all supported CLR's .
However, once the bootstrap version is built - the full version is
immediately built using that bootstrap version.
You could use the "bootstrap" target of the (n)make to only build the
bootstrap version itself though.
Aren't the instructions in README.txt (in the root of CVS module, and source
distribution) clear about building NAnt ?

Thanks. I will experiment with this work flow and document it.
What is the difference between a bootstrap version and the full version of
NAnt? What is missing from the bootstrap version? docs? tests?

Thanks I will read.

Definitely. Portability is very important to me as well. That's why I will
also test the process with Mono and Linux after I got the basics sorted out.
