Community TFS Build Extensions - How to integrate the InvokePowerShellCommand build activity

"The InvokePowerShellCommand activity can be used to run the PowerShell commands or script files within a build without using then generic InvokeProcess activity to run the PowerShell interpreter. In this example we aim to show the basic steps that are required to get the activity integrated into a build.

This looks like a cool way of extending, customizing, etc, your Build process. I mean, it's PowerShell! :)
