Some people would like to be able to use CSC/VBC to produce reference assemblies. This could provide dramatic improvements to build incrementality of managed code if taken advantage of in a build system. The suggested approach is to allow the full path to the two types of assemblies (full and reference) as arguments on the command line. If the argument for the reference assembly location is not specified, the reference assembly is not generated.
A complete specification of the internal changes to the compilation API and to the command-line flags is required.
