MSBuild is something like Ant for .NET. (or "make", but with more XML :) )
I think Brett means that MSBuild is bundled with mono.
I failed to unbundle some things just to have a CVE in one of the bundled
dependencies DAYS later. I think it's not a good idea in general to bundle
things. (But if it's from the same vendor and team anyway they'll probably
update their bundled copy after fixing CVEs, too)
