The work looks good just few comments.

Match names of sln files to Mono profiles (e.g net_2_0, net_4_5, etc). I
don't think we need to include basic or build profiles, they are bootstrap
profiles which are not needed when you have VS/MD installed.

Please check Mono coding guidelines before submitting the pull request.
