Assembly.GetReferencedAssemblies

[Mythran]

The Assembly.GetReferencedAssemblies method doesn't return all assemblies
referenced by a project. I assume this is because of optimizations made at
compile time that only include the reference to those assemblies that are
actually used in the output assembly, and excludes referenced assemblies
that aren't used?
