Post-build Web.config transforms

Question

I have an unfortunate situation where I need to deploy one Visual Studio project eight times via webdeploy with differently transformed web.config files for each deployment.

Is it possible to transform the web.config configuration with MSBuild after a single build instead of compiling multiple times just to transform the configuration file?

Yes you can roll your own web config transformations using the xdt tool, rebuilding to do web transforms is just wrong: http://ctt.codeplex.com/
