+
+Then at the command line, a simple "msbuild" (or "xbuild" on Mono) will pick the lone *.proj file and build its default target:
+{{{
+msbuild
+}}}
+
+If there is more than one .proj file, you can pass it on the command line:
+{{{
+msbuild foo.proj
+}}}
+
+To build a specific target:
+{{{
+msbuild /t:test
+}}}
+Targets are case insensitive.
+
+
+== Notes ==
+
+You don't need to use a build tool for single files or very small projects.
+
+You can embed library references in your Cobra source code with the RefDirective (@ref) and thereby skip passing them on the command line.
+
+Alternatives to msbuild/xbuild include Nant, Make and scripts (such as bash or .bat).
