How can I set a property in such an MSBuild project? Can the value of a
property come from an external tool that e.g. runs across the working
copy to determine the SVN revision number?

Does this task affect the file being compiled or will I again have to
set that "don't use host compiler" flag on the csproj file? (Otherwise
the build process would ignore any changes made to the source files in a
pre-build event. But this seems to have the drawback that errors are no
longer highlighted in the source...)
