[MonoDevelop] F# and using a response file to pass options

[Vasili I. Galchin]

passing an options file to my FSharpBinding (close to CSharp .... e.g.
FSharpBindingCompilerManager.cs mainly differs
     on building the fsc command line options!!:



                static int DoCompilation (string compilerName, string
compilerArgs, string working_dir, Dictionary<string, string> envVars,
List<string> gacRoots, ref string output, ref string error)
                {

                        output = Path.GetTempFileName();
                        error = Path.GetTempFileName();

                        StreamWriter outwr = new StreamWriter (output);
                        StreamWriter errwr = new StreamWriter (error);

                        ProcessStartInfo pinfo = new ProcessStartInfo
(compilerName, compilerArgs);   <<< 2nd parm to constructor
                        pinfo.WorkingDirectory = working_dir;


causes grief when doing a fsc build:

Error FS0226: The file extension of '/tmp/tmp25bc50f.tmp' is not recognized.
Source files must have extension .fs, .fsi, .fsx, .fsscript, .ml or .mli.
(FS0226) (Console1)

Soon I will share a snapshot of what I have done.
