Well, I "think" that we can implement this as a filter (but I definitely
need to be implemented just the same), but I still need to have a closer
look at Roger's implementation.  I do know that he had to implement a hack
in order to have the filter child elements processed in the order in which
they are defined in the build file.  Right now, we iterate over the
properties of an element (in Element.InitializeXml), and initialize them in
that order.  We need to override this behaviour here, but this will not be a
one line change and as you know, I'm very busy right now ...

I agree.  Should we also split up NAntContrib into multiple assemblies like
we do for NAnt ?
