The "correct" way would be to put MSBuild conditions on the references
in the project file. This would work with xbuild, MSBuild and VS.

However, I'm not sure whether MD handles them yet. This is certainly
something will work when MD uses xbuild to build projects. MD 2.2 has
an experimental option to do so, so you could try that too. Eventually
it will become the standard behaviour.
