		- 'False' means the reference should not be Copied Local
		- [Missing] means this task will decide whether to treat this reference as CopyLocal or not.

===================================================
GetCopyToOutputDirectoryItems
Get all project items that may need to be transferred to the output directory.
This includes baggage items from transitively referenced projects. It would appear
that this target computes full transitive closure of content items for all referenced
projects; however that is not the case. It only collects the content items from its
immediate children and not children of children. The reason this happens is that
the ProjectReferenceWithConfiguration list that is consumed by _SplitProjectReferencesByFileExistence
is only populated in the current project and is empty in the children. The empty list
causes _MSBuildProjectReferenceExistent to be empty and terminates the recursion.

===================================================
PostBuildEvent
Run the post-build event. This step is driven by two parameters:

(1) The $(RunPostBuildEvent) property is set by the user through the IDE and can be one of four values.

	- OnBuildSuccess: In this case, every step of the build must succeed for the post-build step to run.
	- <Blank>: This is the same as OnBuildSuccess.
	- OnOutputUpdated: In this case, the post-build step will run only if the main output assembly was
	actually updated.
	- Always: The post-build step is always run.

(2) The $(_AssemblyTimestampBeforeCompile) and $(_AssemblyTimestampAfterCompile) values are
	set by the _TimeStampBeforeCompile and _TimeStampAfterCompile targets.  If the assembly was actually
	rebuilt during this build, then the two values will be different.
===================================================
<Target Name="PostBuildEvent"

AllProjectOutputGroups
The targets below drive output groups, which provide generic information about a
project's inputs (e.g., content files, compilation sources, etc.) and built outputs
(e.g., built EXE/DLL, PDB, XML documentation files, etc.)

Each target may produce two kinds of items:  outputs and dependencies.  Outputs are
items from the current project; dependencies are items that are brought into the
current project as a result of referencing other projects or components.

For both outputs and dependencies, the Include attribute
specifies the location of the output/dependency; it must be a full path.  Any number
of additional attributes may be placed on an output/dependency item.
