[Opensim-users] Opensim compile error under Mono 2.10

[Justin Clark-Casey]

The thing is, nant should be working fine - I'm using it myself on the development branch.  So it's not unsupported - 
just not working for some folks for as yet unidentified reasons.  And as we've seen, since xbuild is there anyway most 
people just end up using that instead.
