Ran across ILMerge today from Microsoft Research. It’s been around for a while now, but I’d just never come across it. Essentially ILMerge will fuse.NET assemblies together into a single assembly for distribution.

If one were developing a framework and distributing it to other developers, I could see this utility making the framework easier to use. Beyond that, however, I’m struggling to see any other use for it at this time. Nice to know it is there though.
