+Summary: [2.0] resgen does not support "\" as a directory seperator
+
+Description of Problem:
+.resx files created using Visual Studio 2005 can contain references to
+files in a directory relative to where the .resx file is located.
+An example is:
+  <data name="OK" type="System.Resources.ResXFileRef, System.Windows.Forms">
+
+    <value>..\Resources\OK.bmp;System.Drawing.Bitmap, System.Drawing,
+Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a</value>
+  </data>
+
+When using Mono's resgen on Linux to compile such a file, an error is thrown.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Extract the contents of the attached file to a directory, say ~/monobug
+2. cd ~/monobug/resx
+3. resgen test.resx
+
+Actual Results:
+Error: Invalid ResX input.
+Inner exception: Could not find file
+"/home/fcarlier/monobug/resx/..\Resources\VSFolder_open.bmp".
+
+Expected Results:
+The compilation to work fine.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always
+
+Additional Information:
+Of course, the MSDN docs say nothing about the directory separator to be used. 
+
+If this is to be fixed, a change to System.Resources.ResXFileRef.FileName
+is probably required. 
+I'm not sure what the best solution is, but it seems logical to standarize
+the fileref to always use "\" as the directory separator.
