In an ideal world, your VS plugin would support Packages in the
Add References dialog. Just like you could, in theory, add a
project as a reference, you would add a package. Then, upon
build, the plugin would call the package manager and get the
libraries / imports required for it, appending the options to the
compilre for your own build. This is something that wouldn't be
particularly difficult to make a plugin for given an existing
package manager. Mono-Develop would perform in the same way I'd
imagine.
