XML Build logger?
About a year ago there was a post on the MSBuild Explorers MSDN blog [1] about some extras that were coming for MSBuild. One of the items mentioned was an XML Logger. I haven't seen any further mention of such a thing, but it would be quite useful. Any word on whether it will ever be released?

Kevin,
Sorry to say this - but the MSBuild powertoys were never posted up for download.
We don't ship an XML Logger out of the box - however, I did notice that there is an XML Logger here: http://www.geekswithblogs.net/kobush/archive/2005/05/06/39153.aspx.
I have never tried it - but you might want to take a look and see whether it works for you?

Faisal,
Yes, I've seen the Kobush logger. If there was something more official - or rather, semi-official - coming from MS by way of a PowerToys release, I would have preferred to use that. Since that doesn't seem to be in the cards (which is a shame - a standard XML logger would be quite valuable), I'll go with Kobush.
Thanks for the info,
Kevin
