Committing the changes needed by our partners to better support a variety of tool references. A class hierarchy of tool references has been introduced. The base class is an abstract tool reference. Unqualified tool references, like those used in the manifest or project files will be continue to be treated as tool references. However, we now have some flexibility for the future should a more refined type of tool reference be needed; for example, a dynamic tool that reads a configuration file to determine what environment it is targetting.
