Should NAnt be In our Repository?

Hi All,

One theory is that the repository should have everything 
you need to build. Another that it should have everything
except what it is reasonable to expect.

Based on the second theory and also on the fact that you
can build with VS as an alternative, we have not included
NAnt in the repository up to now.

OTOH, you have to have an 0.86 version of NAnt to build
and you have to have the WiX NAnt tasks in your NAnt
directoryC if you want to build the Windows installer.

We do incude WiX itself in the Tools, because it seems
less likely that people will have it.

I'm of two minds on this:
1. NAnt is so basic, that we don't have to include it
2. NAnt is so important, that we should include it

What do you all think?

Charlie
