We gave up on using the <solution> task for VC++ (7.1) projects. The dependency analysis just doesn't seem to match devenv so we may have a header file or a resource that changes that should force a recompile but doesn't.
Also, one of the advantages of the <solution> task is that you don't have to have VS.NET installed on your build machine. This is true for C# and VB.NET projects because the .NET Framework SDK includes the C# and VB.Net compiler. But it does not include the C++ compiler, so you have to have VS.NET installed on the build machine anyway. We just use the <exec> task to run devenv.com.

My understanding is that the nant solution task will not work with non-dot-net or unmanaged code, and I'd like to know why, and if any work has been done to expand it to work in such cases. Especially if the user has the c/c++/whatever compilers available and the proper files/references are in the .*proj files, why would it not work?
