You need to create two UI projects directed for each platform. Core of  
application (which is platform independent, so everything without UI)  
You should put into other, shared project.

Not so bad idea. Nant can make it for You. But I think on Windows You  
should make it by Windows way, so You still should create an installer  
which will install application on Windows and make DMG image for Mac.  
Nobody will just put application to Program Files like on Mac :) Vista  
will be very unhappy on doing this.
