Doesn't check resources to see if they're use in library project references #16

First of all, great tool! It was really helpful in identifying resources that 
are no longer in use and ones that I thought had been in used and found a bug 
in my code.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create 2 android projects, one being a library, and the other referencing 
it. 
https://developer.android.com/guide/developing/projects/projects-cmdline.html#Re
ferencingLibraryProject
2. Add and reference some resources to the library project and make sure your 
tool doesn't find any unused resources.
3. Run your tool on the other project that references the library project.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
There should be no unused resources. Instead, it displays the all the resources 
from my referenced library project as unused.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
AndroidUnusedResources 1.6.2 on Mac OSX 10.7.3

Please provide any additional information below.
I believe that when you compile an android project, it merges all the resources 
from referenced libraries into itself. For now, we run your tool against our 
library projects directly, but when we start introducing more levels, I believe 
it'll be more difficult to find unused resources.

Thanks!
