More build management tools: http://nant.sourceforge.net/ hosts NAnt (Not Ant) - an "Ant" equivalent (I've mentioned Ant before) developed in .NET and so is an XML based build tool. Probably quite .NET targeted (includes NUnit unit testing functionality) and requires the .NET runtime (20mb or so if you haven't got it already). Alternatively, for Python fans there is SCons at http://www.scons.org/. The build scripts are actually python scripts (although you don't need to know any Python to use them) so if you know Python you can use any of that knowledge in the build script. Again, neither of these seems to have a graphical build-file builder! SCons was originally inspired by the Perl-based Cons tool (http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/cons/).
At some point, I'll put up a page detailing all of the build tools I've found and something like a feature matrix.
Simon.
