Does this work from .vcproj/.sln files as 'primary' source or do you
have to manually synchronize a second build system (nant in this case)?

I am asking because I am currently trying to get an idea how multi-
platform automated builds may work out. My latest idea is to ssh to
these machines, run svn export, call the 'native' build system, and
check in the results into a secondary repository. Biggest obstacle
so far is to get VS7 batch job reliably build the things I want it
to build. I'd be happy if there was a solution that does not
involve the IDE yet runs directly on a .vcproj or .sln file as this
is the thing the developers actively maintain.

To get back on the SVN track:

It's sometimes hard to maintain 'intermediate build data' like
shared libraries, that are used (yet not easily built) by other in-house
in an orderly fashion.

So far most places I know use the 'traditional' approach (dump all stuff
in a silent corner on some NFS server and hope that people find out
what's there and why) recommended but I suppose that's a place where
putting this stuff into a repository might make sense.

I am not sure, though.
