Multiple web application deployment targets in Visual Studio 2008?

Question

I currently maintain several different environments for a single application - production, staging, development, etc .

I was wondering if there was a setting or an add-in for visual studio that would facilitate publishing to multiple deployment targets (preferabbly with a different web.config for each target)?

I'm considering writing a couple of nant scripts instead but it would be nice if there was an integrated solution.

It's not possible in VS 2008 out of the box. I don't know if there's an addin for this, but you could try searching VisualStudio Gallery.

From what I've seen from demo videos, VS2010 will support having different web.configs, and deploying to dev/staging/production.
