The ReferenceManagerXXX project capabilities do not seem to have any effect on the Reference Manager. #337

My understanding is that the ReferenceManagerBrowse capability should add the "Browse" tab to the Reference Manager. However, this does not occur. Similarly, the other related capabilities, such as ReferenceManagerAssemblies do not present the appropriate tab either. It seems you must declare the AssemblyReferences capability to get either of those tabs to appear. But, our project system does not support assembly references. So, if these ReferenceManagerXXX capabilities don't allow you to manipulate the Reference Manager independently of the reference types you actually support, then what are they for and how do extenders support browsing to custom reference types?
