Actually, the nantschema/ task will output a schema for any, and all,
tasks that are loaded. This includes any custom tasks that are loaded with
loadtasks/. It was on the nantschema/ todo list to allow creating
schemas for only a given assembly, but that was not been coded yet.

In my opinion, this can lead to assumptions about the build environment. It
is more descriptive, and easier to catch mistakes when build on different
machines, if the loadtasks/ (for non-core task) is put in the build file.
You can define the path relative to the build dir, or to the nant
