Summary: gac-install is dependent on SDK - not necessary

Initial Comment:
Hi 

I'm using nant for writing a rather complex deployment
script, which is supposed to run on the server our
application needs to be installed on. 
I cannot (or don't want to) make an msi package to do this.

The gac-install task is unfortunately dependent on the
SDK for finding the gacutil program (at least I think so).

This is a bug. It doesn't actually need the SDK to find
the gacutil program - it is located on
%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v.1.xxxxx\... (at
least for ms .net 1.0 and 1.1..

I just used the exec task instead, but this obsolete
dependency should probably be fixed.

This has been fixed in NAnt: The location specified using the
ProgramLocation attribute is now only used as a hint for finding the tool.
If not found in that location, the other tool-paths of the current target
framework are searched.

The System.EnterpriseServices.Internal.Publish class is only 
available in .NET 1.1 (and higher), and since we also want to 
support users running .NET 1.0 ......

As far as I know, gacutil is indeed part of the .NET 
redistributalbe in .NET 1.x, but I think it has been moved to 
the SDK in .NET 2.0 (but I'd have to double-check this).

The gac tasks actually don't need to be dependent on the
presence of GacUtil.exe at all.  There are methods in the
System.EnterpriseServices.Internal.Publisher class that will
handle installation and removal from the gac.
