Clive,

I'm not sure I understand you comment/concern about NAnt being too .NET centric.

At the pragmatic level, NAnt offers an <exec> task which would allow you (as 
far as I know) to implement any build script that could have been implemented 
in a DOS batch file.

The most obviously NAnt feature to simplify .NET work is the <solution> task.  
If the features of that task are sufficient for your work (and it has some 
limitations), then it can make building of .NET solution files MUCH simplier 
than implementing the low-level steps in <exec> tasks and such.

If you examine the NAnt "task" list, you can get a feel for the services NAnt 
provides.  I think you will see that only a few of the tasks as tied to/limited 
by .NET itself.  The large majority of those tasks support generic build 
actions.
