[MonoDevelop] Solution/project files missing in source package

[safknw at gmail.com]

Hi Andy,
You misunderstood my problem.
I'm not talking about packaging. I talking about output of source package  
(tar.gz here), which does not contain solution/project file. If somebody  
has downloaded source, he cannot open project even if he has MonoDevelop  
installed.
