It partially works. 
Can't build the designer due to a Skybound.VisualStyles dependency. I assume we get
that from here? http://windowsclient.net/downloads/folders/controlgallery/entry1590.aspx

It then crashes when running the html report

Just in case you were interested....

My first commit in a very long time. I'm releasing the source code of my C#
implementation of Rbuild by popular demand :) I would have preferred to release the code
under a BSD licence but there is a small portion of ancient Nant GPL code that would have
been to be rewritten first.

There are two executables (SysGen.Designer) and (SysGen.Make)

SysGen.Designer is a windows forms tool that allows to generate customized reactos images,
it is similar in concept to Windows CE Platfom Builder. SysGen.Make is the actual Rbuild
clone, It has three main parts, the .rbuild file parser + in-memory tree representation,
the backends , and the auto generated files. The Mingw backend used to work 1'5 years
ago and produced a 100% valid makefile.auto but have to be updated to be able to build a
recent revision. Rewriting parts of it to take advantage of C# 3.5 extension methods would
probably reduce the code by 50%. The other two parts are quite stable.

This code was only a proof of concept and was never intended to be released so there is a
ton of unpolished code and hacks required by the current C++ implementation that should be
removed.

How to test it:

Select SysGen.Make as the Start-up Project in Visual Studio and edit Program.cs to point
to the correct path to ReactOS-i386.rbuild Edit SysGenEngine.cs:639 to enable/disable
specific backends, The HtmlBackend in \SysGen.BuildEngine\Backends\Html\HtmlBackend.cs is
a very simple illustration of how powerful this framework is.

Happy hacking!
