I'm trying to automate a build for a C++ project. Previously it was in
C++ 6.0, but we're converting to 7.0 shortly. I'm considering writing my
Nant script to use the <solution> task to build the 7.0 project. It
seems simple enough.

The only question that remains (which is kind of peripheral) is whether
SourceSafe is better at dealing with sln files than they were with the
old dsp and dsw type files. In other words, if I use multiple checkout
on Microsoft's sln and related files, can I expect things to work well
in a small (< 5 people) group when we later merge? Or, should I bite the
bullet and try to use <cl> and compile each file separately and maintain
all the details about the solution in my Nant file. This of course has
the downside that everyone has to learn Nant to a greater degree, and
that they couldn't continue to debug and work with the sln files in the
way that they are accustomed to around here.

I'm not sure if I want everyone using Nant all the time for development,
or if I just want to use Nant on the build machine. Any ideas or
opinions on that?

In a related issue, if I use <cl> and have 6.0 and 7.0 installed, which
compiler does it call?

Thanks!!
