[mono-android] Enhancement: aresgen.exe and TFS.

[Tom Opgenorth]

Excluding folders with TFS is pretty easy. Files, OTOH are a bit different.
TFS sort of lets you exclude files. Basically, you can't do it via the
IDE/GUI, you have to do it at the command line it's not obvious/intuitive.
 I guess Microsoft never thought that excluding individual files wasn't a
significant use case?  Search StackOverflow for how to do it if you need it.
 I apologize for not posting the link, I didn't keep it when I found it.

This seems to be a TFS issue - other SCM's handle this scenario quite easily
(i.e. .svnignore/.gitignore and not use the read-only flag on files).
