any idea which is the command for publish in msbuild corresponding to the one in VS2008? What I want is the resulting output to be the same, without that _PublishedWebSites subdirectory. Is this achievable from command line or I should use a build file?

Thanks.

Solved this by specifying WebProjectOutputDir property.
It looks something like this:
MSBuild.exe /t:Rebuild "MyTestProject.sln" /p:OutDir=c:\Project\bin\ /p:WebProjectOutputDir=C:\Project\ /p:Configuration=Debug

You could take a look at the Vs2008 Web Deployment stuff. Underneath, it uses the AspNetCompiler Task, so you could hack that into you .*proj file.
