[Mono-dev] [PATCH] 2.0 profile version of resgen

[Gert Driesen]

Hi,

The attached patch modifies the Makefile for resgen to support a different
output assembly for each supported profile, and adds a 'resgen2' wrapper
script for executing the 2.0 profile version of resgen. 

This change was discussed with Miguel a few weeks ago (see below).

Are there more changes necessary to get the 2.0 version of resgen and its
wrapper script in the distribution ?

Is ok to also create a 2.0 profile versions of mbas, xsd and al ? I would
submit a separate patch for these ofcourse.

Gert
