Description

Paket is great to manage nuget dependencies and have my project files taken care of in a robust manner, although managing project references from Visual Studio is sometimes tedious, and in the absence of Visual Studio or MonoDevelop a real pain.

It seems paket could do a good job at solving this as it already has infrastructure to edit project files.

Allow to specify in paket.dependencies project reference and have paket define those in the project files

project myproject path/to/myproject.csproj

paket.references for some_project.csproj

myproject

in this case some_project.csproj would be updated to have a project reference to myproject.

Research direction

Start by reading the existing infrastructure that edits project files, then trace how paket.dependencies and paket.references are parsed. Check how a .csproj is updated today and define completion as adding the requested project reference from the example configuration without disrupting existing references.
