When running a build from the web client it would be
very useful to be able to override the NAnt properties at
runtime so that build settings could be tweaked
according to the type of build you wish to execute.

For example I have a NAnt build that gets the latest
version of a website from VSS, copies it to our internal
staging environment, zips up the site to an archive
folder and then runs some validation on the site using
W3C's online services.

At the moment I have 2 projects in Draco. 1 for a
nightly build that does the zipping and validation and 1
for an hourly build that just gets the latest version down
to our staging environment.

Through the web client I would like to be able to
override a project's NAnt properties so I could
enable/disable a particular step or change the path for
deployment etc

Any chance this could become a new feature? If not I
may tackle it myself...

Thanks
