So the implicit dependencies are in the tasks... This would be one reason you would want to have a task instead of using exec, right?

Perhaps you have in mind the NMake files that Visual Studio (at least some versions) would generate. Most, if not all, NAnt tasks that create target files are designed so that the only perform the task if the target files are out of date. If you invoke a NAnt solution task, it will always spend time analyzing the solution file, but it won't rebuild .dll or .exe files unless it thinks it necessary (i.e. it won't invoke the compiler). I don't use the cl or other compiler tasks directly, but I'd assume they work the same way. The copy task also works this way (which surprises some people).
