The main problems I've had with resgen are handling filename case. If
I've manually changed the resource file to match the exact filename case
or renamed the files I've had no further trouble.  

I've had the best success with mono 2.4 and svn builds of MD. I've been
using this at work to co-develop on a winforms app without any trouble
(after the filename thing)
