Retrying comes in handy when having to deal with the quirks that crop up when we try to deploy websites on IIS (running w3p.exe processes lock the directory and prevent < RemoveDir > from working as intended):

Something like:
< DeleteTree
Directories="..."
Retries="3"
RetryDelayMilliseconds="300" >
Would be nice I guess.
