I am using VS2005 and would like to know how I can use file references
and yet have the path point to the correct debug or release folders
based on the configuration. I know that Microsoft recommends using
Project References, but in our case, we cannot put all the projects in
a single solution. There are certain assemblies that we need to have
file references to.

I have used the subst command to map drive letters to a folder. That
way each developer can move their code around on their machine and just
keep the subst commands updated without breaking the build.
