   Spring.Net.2005.sln
   Spring.Net.2008.sln
   -> use solutions.build.nant script
    
3. Check for all user docs - check date + check version number!
   Doc/Reference/html
   Doc/Reference/htmlhelp
   Doc/Reference/pdf

   -> check /doc/api/net-2.0/htmlhelp/Spring.NET.chm (version number, list of included assemblies!)
   -> run /doc/api/net-1.1/vsnet2003/Register2Help.bat and check MSDN integration
