the <ifnot> "task" has been deprecated in favor of expression support, but
that still doesn't mean we have an if ... else construct ...
You can't just have two distinct nodes for the <if> and <else> parts, so
perhaps you could implement something like a <condition> task (bad name) :
<condition test="${file::up-to-date(....)}">
<if>
<else test="<else condition>">
</else>
<else>
....
</else>
</condition>

Good idea, bad name ;)

No, it does not calculate a checksum or so ... It just compares the last
write time.
We could actually have checksum functions or a checksum task
(http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/checksum.html) ...

We're thinking about ways to allow the user more control over task output

We already support this ...
eg.
<solution configuration="release">
<projects>
<includes name="A\A.csproj" />
<includes name="B\b.vbproj" />
<includes name="C\c.csproj" />
</projects>
<referenceprojects>
<includes name="X\x.csproj" />
</referenceprojects>
</solution>
Note : our support for VC++ project is very limited right now (we could use
a hand there ;))
Thanks
