Summary: ResGen issue with long paths if assembly references used

Initial Comment:
Related issue: 1153724.

Issue:
- The resgen task already batches multiple resgen.exe
calls when the command line is too long (around 30000),
however the assembly references are not taken into
account to determine this length.  When the command
line without assembly references is just less than the
limit, this may cause problems anyway.

Context
- Discovered by using solution task to build a VS2003
web project on .NET 2.0.
- Can be reproduced using just the resgen task.

Attached:
- Sample build files, must be unzipped to directory 
'C:\testLongDirNametestLongDirNametestLongDirNametestLongDirNametestLongDirNametestLongDirNametestLongDirNametestLongDi'
or a directory name with the same length to reproduce the 
problem.
The build file resgenNoAssemblyRefWORKS.build and
resgenWithAssemblyRefBROKEN.build do the same, except
for assembly references.
- Note that both the contenst of the assemblies and
resx files do not matter here.

I never received a repro for this issue. Can you package up 
one and attach it (or send it to me by email, 
dri...@us...) ?

I am seeing this exact problem--Is there a solution in the
nightly builds? I also have a very long assembly path (about
4000 chars)

Bernard,

Can you send me the repro (including resx files, and 
assemblies) by email (dri...@us...) ?

Thanks !

Note: I cannot upload the sample build files since the file
size is to large, I can mail it if requested.

This is the contenst of the breaking sample:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="ResGen command line limit example"
default="rebuild">

    <target name="clean" description="remove all generated
files">
        <delete>
            <fileset>
                <include name="output/**" />
            </fileset>
        </delete>
    </target>

    <target name="build">
        <resgen todir="output">
            <assemblies>
                <include name="assemblies/*.dll" />
            </assemblies>
            <resources>
                <include name="resx/*.resx" />
            </resources>
        </resgen>
    </target>

    <target name="rebuild" depends="clean, build" />

</project>
