[MonoDevelop] TextTransform.exe not finding referenced assemblies

[Tom Cook]

I've looked into this myself.  The error appears to be related to the
method
Mono.TextTemplating.TemplateGenerator.ResolveAssemblyReference(string)
which currently only has a stub implementation.  I'd offer this diff as at
least an initial implementation:

diff --git
