Convert the solution MySolution.sln to the NAnt build file MySolution.build and call the new build file.

                <parameters>

            <slingshot solution="MySolution.sln" format="nant" output="MySolution.build">
                <parameters>
                    <option name="build.basedir" value="..\bin"/>
