Re: StreamsEqual issue(s)

Hey Charlie,

I did make a few changes to the NAnt "install" target and the generated nant
script to have it align better with linux packaging practices:

http://nant.cvs.sourceforge.net/nant/nant/NAnt.build?r1=1.246&r2=1.250
http://nant.cvs.sourceforge.net/nant/nant/Makefile?r1=1.19&r2=1.20

For info on the way DESTDIR is used for creating staged installs, see:

No... I just meant that you could find out if there are added
issues with 2.5 or if the amount of work is likely to be the
same. I wouldn't suggest you patch until at least a beta. :-)

And if I knew about issues before release, they might get
resolved sooner.

Pass them to me as you find them and I'll be glad to look them
over. Better yet, file bugs on them so we can keep track.

That's about were I am, except I'm somewhat interested, so
I may try to make the time to learn about it at some point.

Of course, if someone reading this has the knowledge, time
and interest, I hope they'll make themselves known. :-)
