There are a number of available tools for soruce code analsyis. CruiseControl.NET includes support for a number of these directly and the documentation is a good source for finding what is available.
Here are a couple that can be used:
Simian is not open source but does have a non-commercial license.
Vil is also not open source but is available freely.
There are also other tools out there, but these are a reasonable start.
I've been using LiteStep for a few years and now use it exclusively at work. Even got a few of my colleagues to use it. But don't ask for tech support, go to the community to get your answers.
The problem with LiteStep is that it has a fairly steep learning curve. This has improved with standards for themes (OTS) appearing and a good installer. There are heaps of distros out there but LSDistro and OTS are two of the best. OTS has generally replaced LSDistro these days and most new themes come out as OTS compatible.
Although these installers are in place and themes are more compatible, you still have to be willing to roll up your sleeves and dive into the configuration files to make a theme work the way you want it to. I've found that I generally download a theme and tweak it until I'm happy and then use that theme for ages.
Anyway litestep is one of the best shell replacements out there because:
you can get the sourcecode and build it yourself
you can code up new modules to do anything you imagine
