[MonoDevelop] projects and references

Hey folks,

jba noted on IRC that the src/Main/StartUp/StartUp.prjx project was not
a happy camper. When MonoDevelop produces the argument list to hand to
mcs for this file, it includes to /r: switches without saying what they
refer to. I've tracked the thing down to
src/Main/Base/Services/Project/DefaultProjectService.cs , where the
overload of GetOutputAssemblyName that takes a string is having
problems. A few print statements show that it's iterating over it's list
of projects looking for the project with the right name, and finding
nothing - the only project in it's list is the current project. I have a
couple of possible explanations for it:
1. The StartUp project file only works when opened by a combine
2. There is something suspicious in the listing of projects.

I suspect the first one, but I am not familiar enough with this code to
rule out the latter.

Any ideas?
