Merge .NET config files based on environment in Visual Studio / MS Build

I have a .NET application which is supposed to run in multiple environments for eg. DEV, PROD. I have several config files like COMMON.config, app.config, DEV.config, PROD.config, etc.

For Development environment I want to merge app.config, COMMON.config and DEV.config.

For Production environment I want to merge app.config, COMMON.config and PROD.config.

Is there a way to achieve this via pre/post build events ?

Most of the information available online are for web.config.

Found useful information at: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/27178/Config-Customization-at-Build-Time-in-Visual-Studi

It used build events to make call to a small program that does the merging.
