Great. Though I've yet another question. You have this:

rule init ( version ? : command * cscompiler ? jscompiler ? vbcompiler ? )

which means you can't configure the name of 'cscompiler' without also 
configuring 'command'. Is this intentional?

And BTW, if the 'command' is a command to invoke C# compiler, do you need a 
separate argument for the C# compiler name?

Ok.

I'm a bit worried about adding feature which makes sense only for one 
compiler, actually. Maybe using <cxxflags> is more appropriate?
