TFSBuildManager
TFSBuildManager is a utility to manage Team Foundation build types in an environment other than Visual Studio.
Looking at the screenshots, it looks quite useful. There is a download from the releases page.
Dudu's blog has quite a few posts about using the Team Build web service. Here are links to some of them.
