MSBuild is something like Ant for .NET.  (or "make", but with more XML :) )

I think Brett means that MSBuild is bundled with mono.

I failed to unbundle some things just to have a CVE in one of the bundled
dependencies DAYS later.  I think it's not a good idea in general to bundle
things.  (But if it's from the same vendor and team anyway they'll probably
update their bundled copy after fixing CVEs, too)
