That file will be useful in XBuild. I was having problems with .targets
file mainly because Microsoft.CSharp.targets is .NET/Microsoft specific.
However it can be used for real things only when XBuild will have
condition support. I'm currently dealing with various tasks like Csc.
You can look into Mono anonymous SVN module 'xbuild'.
