[Mono-dev] csproj files for Mono's class libraries.

[Atsushi Eno]

The newer system should be as convenient as dll.sources model. Without 
as easy step as to add just one line for new Foo.cs in Bar.dll.sources 
(or more importantly for contribution, FooTest.cs in 
Bar_test.dll.sources), I'm not likely enthusiastic to contribute new code.

So far *.dll.sources could be created like this:

     ls ../../build/common/*.cs */*.cs | grep -v *-check.cs > 
Foo.dll.sources
     cd Test; ls */*.cs > ../Foo_test.dll.sources; cd ..
