hi yall,

IMHO....

since nant's namespace was restructured , the usability and
extensibility via nant-contrib has suffered enormously, it seems to me.
it's very hard to get a good binary image working across .NET 1.0 and
1.1.  And it's hard to get a matching source image including
nant-contrib and nant -- they're both important.

it seems the current structure is as follows, which i believe is
problematic:

nant source produces daily nant bin, which is available w/ some
arbitrary nant-contrib bin. nant-contrib source is available on its own.
building it depends on some arbitrary nant bin.

i may not have gotten the above exactly, but it seems to me nonetheless
that the package visibility is backwards.  what would make sense to me
would be the following:

nant-contrib depends on nant.  nothing else.
how to do this?

when someone changes nant, they should somehow make sure they didn't
break nant-contrib. when someone gets nant (source/bin), they only get
nant (because they're not dependent on nant-contrib) when someone gets
nant-contrib (source/bin), they get both the latest nant-contrib and the
latest nant (source/bin) because they work together.
