Are there any tools to do Migrations (a la Ruby) on Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL)?

Question

Are there any tools, or 'best practices' for creating Migrations on MSSQL? I have a Dev & Production database, and the Dev one often has new SPROCs created, and occasionally the structure is added to. I'd like to be able to write a set of scripts during each iteration which will update the Dev server, then execute all the scripts at release time to update Production. In ruby I can do this with migrations - is there an equivalent?

There are a few:

• Rails Migrations running on SQL Server
• RikMigrations
• Tarantino
• Migrator.NET
• Machine Migrations
• Subsonic Migrations
• dbDeploy.NET
• Fluent Migrator

For what it's worth, my favourite of these is Fluent Migrator.
