Re: [nunitv3] Should NAnt be In our Repository?

Go for inclusion.

If size matters, strip all unnecessary .dlls/other things from the
NAnt needed to build.

Less configuration - less fuzz.

I'm doing this for my own projects on the net, for example my
Dogfight2008 game, where I include NUnit in the SVN archive just for
the maintainability.

I'm all for the idea that the only thing you should actually need, is
the compiler. All other tools are part of the build, process, and
should therefore be included.

One of the big advantages is that NUnit expands it's potential
developer base, because programmers are one lazy race.
