Proposal: Add marketplace link to auto-generated header
I think it would be helpful to include the marketplace link in the header of the generated files.
I'm using this in a project where we want to help encourage community contributions by making it as easy as possible for people to contribute. Having an extension installed as a requirement is a concern, but adding something to the code to clarify what's needed and where to get it from helps lessen this concern.
So, instead of having a header like this (the current behavior):
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// <auto-generated>
// This file was generated by VSIX Synchronizer
// </auto-generated>
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It would look like this:
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// <auto-generated>
// This file was generated by VSIX Synchronizer
// Available from https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MadsKristensen.VsixSynchronizer64
// </auto-generated>
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If linking to one of the 64 OR 32-bit versions is a concern, it could include a link to a marketplace search that returns both: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/search?term=%22vsix%20synchronizer%22&target=VS
I'll happily submit a PR for this change, but I recognize the benefit of discussing this idea first.
