[MonoDevelop] add-in pre build event

[Matt Ward]

It could watch for changes but currently there is no plan to implement this.

If the NuGet addin started watching for changes then it probably should
handle uninstalling/installing NuGet packages based on how it has been
edited, and also support code completion for NuGet packages. Although I am
not sure many people would this feature since I do not know of many people
that edit the packages.confg file by hand, it is usually easier to use the
GUI.
