Maybe not as elegant of a solution as Eric's, but I just create multiple web.config and app.config files, one for each environment I deploy to. I use the <copy> task and a <property> to select the correct *.config file and copy it to the needed location.
Might be a little more maintenance if you need to add settings because you have to add it to multiple files, but it works for me.
