[mono-android] dynamically target Kindle Fire from same project

[Gerry High]

This is the route I'm going--to have 2 projects within the same solution.  One thing I've run into is that the IDE doesn't seem like it is smart if you link your layout files in that it is not updating the Resource.designer.cs with the IDs, etc. from the linked layout files.

Is this a know issue or is there some workaround?

Thanks,
Gerry
