           Summary: XBuild places resources in wrong namespace if the file
                    is linked instead of included
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Tools
           Version: 2.8.x
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: xbuild
        AssignedTo: jankit at novell.com

When .csprojs contain files marked as "Embedded Resource", xbuild will put the
resources in the wrong namespace if said file is also a link.

For example, take this project item:

  <EmbeddedResource Include="..\Castle\DynamicProxy\DynProxy.snk">
    <Link>Castle\DynamicProxy\DynProxy.snk</Link>
  </EmbeddedResource>

The target namespace should be <root
namespace>.Castle.DynamicProxy.DynProxy.snk
XBuild instead puts the resource in <root namespace>.DynProxy.snk.

If the file is included in the project (instead of linked) the resource's
namespace is correct.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new C# project in Visual Studio (I used VC# 2010 Express)
2. Create one or more random directories (eg. "TestDir") in the project
3. Add a random file that is _not_inside_the_project_directory_ to the
   project as a link
   (in Visual Studio: right-click, add existing item, browse to file,
   click on the arrow besides 'Add' and choose 'Add As Link')
4. Configure the linked file as 'Embedded Resource' in the properties dialog
Actual Results:  
When the project is compiled by xbuild, the compiled assembly contains a
resource like this:

TestProject.RandomFile.dat

Expected Results:  
The same result as when I compile the project via MSBuild, where the compiled
assembly contains a resource like this:

TestProject.TestDir.RandomFile.dat
