A:
There is ASP.NET Merge tool (Aspnet_merge.exe) and Web Deployment Projects ( UPDATED: Aspnet_merge.exe came with Windows SDK components when you installing Visual Studio 2008 - look at "%Program Files%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin" folder ). These links may be interesting to you:

UPDATED:
In ASP.NET MVC projects there is <MvcBuildViews>true/false</MvcBuildViews> property which enables compiling Views in AfterBuild target. But it does not compile your project in one assembly. You should use ASP.NET Merge tool or Web Deployment Projects.

You could try aspnet_merge.exe -o OutputAssemblyName.dll "path to your compiled project". It works well on my projects
