Summary: Can't find installation instructions
Initial Comment:
There doesn't seem be any installation instructions for
NAntContrib, but I am guessing you just need to copy
the DLLs you want to the NAnt\bin directory (or
otherwise make the DLLs available).
This is fairly easy to do, as there are no naming
conflicts, however I wasn't sure what to do with the
help files -- in most cases they also don't conflict,
except for the "index" pages (plus a few others like
license.txt).
If you try to copy the whole doc directory across the
NAntContrib index files overwrite the main NAnt ones (or
you can choose not to copy those files).
Suggestion -- (as well as adding simple installation
instructions) You could make the index.html files in
NAntContrib a super-set of the original NAnt ones (one
would assume that NAnt must be installed in the first
place to make any use of NAntContrib).
If that does not seem reasonable, then change the file
names, e.g. I changed the following:
NAntContrib\license.txt => Contrib.license.txt
NAntContrib\doc\license.txt => Contrib.license.txt
NAntContrib\doc\releasenotes.txt =>
Contrib.releasenotes.txt
NAntContrib\doc\help\index.html => Contrib.index.htmal
*1
NAntContrib\doc\help\style.css => Contrib.style.css *2
NAntContrib\doc\help\functions\index.html =>
Contrib.index.html
NAntContrib\doc\help\tasks\index.html =>
Contrib.index.html
NAntContrib\doc\help\types\index.html =>
Contrib.index.html
*1 Also need to update help\Contrib.index.html for the
new file names of other "index" files.
*2 Need to update all style sheet references in the
various HTML files. (The style sheets for NAnt and
NAntContrib should be the same anyway, so not a big
issue.)
*3 help\elements, help\enums and help\filters directories
are all new, although you may want to consider
changing, e.g. help\filters\index.html to
Contrib.index.html
*4 help\images directory is redundant, but can stay
(style.css could possibly also stay).

NAnt and NAntContrib are separate projects, and should be
kept that way.
Just extract the binary distributions of both projects into
separate directories.
You should not copy files from NAntContrib in the NAnt
directory.
The readme.txt file in the root of both the source & binary
distributions mentions this :
In order to use NAntContrib tasks in NAnt, you should use the
NAnt's <loadtasks> task.
For example :
<project name="NAntContrib" default"test">
<target name="test">
<loadtasks
assembly="c:/NAntContrib/bin/NAnt.Contrib.Tasks.dll" />
...
</target>
</project>
