When compiling Mercury code that uses the Mercury <-> C# interface,
the Mercury compiler generates some C# files.
I don't think that we're ever going to use NAnt for those.
For one thing, that would be yet another dependency.
For another, we already have not one but two fine build tools
that handle this, modulo the differences in interfaces between
the different C# compilers.
