A:
CruiseControl, for build automation
EDIT: Nant, mentioned previously in this thread, is used to automate builds. CruiseControl automates Nant (fires it off when there's a checkin, can notify you via a try icon when someone has broken the build, etc.). You can leverage your investment in Nant scripts with CruiseControl.
