Excellent suggestion:
Actually, Blair worked on earlier versions of a NAnt script. With Mono/.NET projects integrated, the idea is to combine building process for both. Our goals are to synchronize:
VS.NET solutions,
MonoDevelop combines,
SharpDevelop combines,
NAnt build scripts
Makefiles for nmake and GNU/make
The best solution I know so far is something called prj2make#, integarted w/MonoDevelop and a part of MonoDevelop (look on the Novell Forge).
Miguel's suggestion is to use Makefiles for now instead of NAnt. There're very good reasons for this. For example right now NAnt is broken with Mono Beta 1. Makefiles are generally less dependent on extra building tools and are easily integrated w/many linux distributions (for example gentoo). Anyway, the above sync requirements are essential for us, if you have time, please check them. Try prj2make# though, you'll love it.
