I understand how to do build steps using the BuildStep task in MSBuild and TFS as shown here:

What I would like to have is indented build steps like the default MSBuild/TFS build steps display:

I reviewed the MSDN documentation, read the small section in the "Inside the Microsoft Build Engine: Using MSBuild and Team Foundation Build" book, and various blogs, but none seems to show how to do the indented/hierarchical build steps.

I was reviewing this and wanted to clarify that we're using VS2010 with TFS2008 (IT has not had a chance to upgrade us yet). Will your solution work with TFS2008?
