XNA 3.0 CTP

The XNA/GS 3.0 CTP is out and I'm in the process of updating the VBContentManager in preparation for the official release.

XNA 3.0 content processing expects to use the .NET Framework v3.5 edition of MSBuild. For those not interested or ready to move to XNA 3.0, XNA 2.0 compatibility will be retained in the VBContentManager.

To that end, the GS 3.0 release will mark a small change in how the VBContentManager works. A version enumeration is now required by the VBContentManager class, and moving forward, the VBContentManager will be augmented with new version support (rather than replaced wholesale) so that future editions of the VBContentManager can target prior XNA versions (dating back to 2.0). Just pass in which XNA version you're targeting, and it will process your content accordingly.

The VBContentManager currently available for download was never updated with functional, XACT-based audio importing. I do have this working in my "production" VBContentManager, and as part of the 3.0 update I will include this for backward compatibility with 2.0's XACT-based audio. And of course the new audio importing for 3.0 will be available as well, which is what I'm working on now.
