… a preprocessor over the templates before calling into Mono.TextTemplating - Added support to T4.Build to take in one or many --variable arguments, using "Include=Value" format. - Added processing of passed in variables into a read-only dictionary. - Updated BuildTemplateGenerator to enable support for a preprocessing Func<>, which is called between input file validation, and processing of content. | - Due to accessibility restrictions of some of the TemplateGenerator methods, I had to pull that code into this class. Ideally TemplateGenerator should expose these as protected/virtual, so that they can be overridden in implementers. - Added a guarded StringBuilder for preprocessing so that we don't load up a StringBuilder, and then have it generate the same string, if there are no variables to replace.
…scope of item types to search for transform files Microsoft.TextTemplating.targets uses this exact list, and I was working on a separate project where the TT file was added as Content, not None. Given that the same Generator guard is used, this seemed safe.
