Example DSL : Mite
This is an example dsl used to create database migration scripts in .Net.
Migrations are a common solution to the database upgrade problem used in the Ruby community.

This is far more flexible than a random set of scripts.
Example DSL : Horn
This is a .net package management and installation tool.
This allows dependencies between projects to be explicitly stated (which makes installation much easier).
