CrmPackage - PreBuildEvent

I'd like to perform a pre-build event and make it conditional on the configuration name specified. I've added the following Xml to my project file:

<PropertyGroup>
    <PreBuildEvent>
      echo $(ConfigurationName)
    </PreBuildEvent>
</PropertyGroup>

The output is always Debug. Is there another way to do conditional pre-build events for the CrmProject type?

I was not able to evercome the PreBuildEvent issue, the $(ConfigurationName) was always Debug. I decided to focus on my ScriptSharp project as it's the Debug/Release output that I was ultimately interested in. I attempted to use the PostBuild event, but I learned that it executed before the javascript file was created. I noticed a BuildScript message in the output window. I decided to try a <Target><Copy> approach. With a Target I was able to use the AfterTargets attribute and set it to "BuildScript". I was then able to specify the target and destination files in the Copy. Following is the Xml that I used:

</Copy>

</Target>
