Suite of tools primarily aimed at validating the architecture of a framework.

Included tools:
- Deps: produces dependency diagrams between assemblies, based both on implementation, as well as API-only. It also carries out cycle detection analysis. The tool additionally outputs some general-interest statistics (e.g. number of types, number of members, etc).
- Layering: verifies that a layering and grouping diagram is indeed satisfied by a set of assemblies.
- PotentialCallers: lists all the methods that call, directly or indirectly, a set of methods.

Built for .NET 2
