Re: [nant-dev] IIS Task

[Gert D. <ger...@pa...>]

I'm not saying youshould care about Mono, but for NAnt we should try to
provide tasks that run on all supported frameworks.

I'm not saying we can't offer framework or OS specific tasks, but we should
try to provide framework, and OS neutral tasks where possible.
