Synopsis: Mysterious assembly reference difficult to reverse diagnose.

Description
When attempting to compile a project from scratch on a new machine, I encountered the following error message. Fine, but there's no explicit reference to this assembly in any of the ECFs I've been able to find. 

Please improve the diagnostics so as to give developers the source of the reference to the assembly, when its missing. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Error code: VD71
Configuration error: general error during the building of the configuration information.
What to do: read the error message for further information.

Could not open assembly: system.web.services

I found the assembly itself. On my regular development machine it's named

   system.web.services.dll

On the new machine, it's named

   System.Web.Services.dll

I'll be pretty upset if it turns out that assembly names in ECFs are case sensitive.
