That's nice that they're putting such effort into it...

But honestly, do we really need any of that? I haven't made any use of any of the Java ports at this point ... nant isn't useful to me because compiling takes 1s and generates no .class files. instead of cruisecontrol.net, I just run unit tests upon recompile. etcetera.
