Import a COM type library into the .NET framework. <p> This task is a wrapper to .NET's tlbimport; it imports a tlb file to a NET assembly by generating a binary assembly (.dll) that contains all the binding metadata. It uses date timestamps to minimise rebuilds. <p> Example <pre> &lt;importtypelib srcfile="xerces.tlb" destfile="xerces.dll" namespace="Apache.Xerces"/&gt; </pre>
