Big feature added:

assembly referencing, target type/name processing,... mbas already
uses it.

extra text at the end of the automatically generated help screen

to <Url>" message at the end of the automatically generated help
screen
	
Important Bug Fix:
- Support quoted arguments in response files. Fixes bug #65484.

Small features
- To make code using Mono.GetOptions Unit-Testable the assembly with
the Options-derived class is assumed to be the "entry" one instead of
the one pointed by Reflection, unless some Mono.GetOptions provided
class is used directly
- Optional splitting of option values on Commas	
- Mono.GetOptions.KillOptionAttribute: This new attribute permit to
hide (kill) an inherited option when overriding the virtual base
member.
