How to pass dynamic properties to an MSbuild task?

Question

Is it possible to pass a dynamic property group to an MSbuild task? So if I have the following properties and values:

<MyPropertyGroup>
   <Foo>bar</Foo>
   <Foo1>bar1</Foo1>
   <Foo2>bar2</Foo2>
</MyPropertyGroup>

I could call MSBuild with a short property list:

<MSBuild Projects="$(SolutionFile)" Targets="Build" Properties="MyPropertyGroup" />

But it would be the same as calling the task like this:

<MSBuild Projects="$(SolutionFile)" Targets="Build" Properties="Foo=bar;Foo1=bar1;Foo2=bar2" />

This is helpful if there's a large property list, and allows for only 1 place needs to be maintained.

This question was kindly answered on StackOverflow. For anyone else looking for an answer:

<PropertyGroup>
  <BuildParameters>
    Configuration=Debug;
    Platform=Any CPU;
        SomeOtherProperty=Foo
  </BuildParameters>
</PropertyGroup>
…
<PropertyGroup>
  <!-- this property can even be extended afterwards, e.g. when a condition is needed -->
  <BuildParameters Condition=" '$(ShallAppendThings)' == 'true' ">
    $(BuildParameters);
    AnotherProperty=SomeValue
  </BuildParameters>
</PropertyGroup>
…

<MSBuild Projects="$(SolutionFile)" Targets="Build" Properties="$(BuildProperties)" />
