[MonoDevelop] Customizing XIB code generation

[Len Charest]

I want to prevent generation of the ReleaseDesignerOutlets method on each
of my controller classes. This would be an optimization; nothing in the
existing generated code is preventing my app from functioning properly.

Nevertheless, it's odd that a codegen template exists but is not used (save
for the initial, outlet-free designer content). It would be cool if codegen
were fully customizable via a T4 template.
