Split the Assembly Rewriter into a Separate Project

[ATRoos]

Hi everyone,

While working with MetadataLoadContext and TypeBuilder–based implementations, I stumbled across the AssemblyReferenceRewriter in this project. I’ve since integrated it into one of my own tools, and it’s been incredibly helpful.
Because of that, I’d like to propose splitting the assembly rewriter into its own dedicated project, and possibly even its own repository.

Why extract it:

• Independent DLL — separating it would allow consumers (like me) to reference just the rewriter without pulling in the entire project.
• Independent versioning — the rewriter could evolve at its own pace without being tied to the main project’s release cycle.
• Cleaner dependency boundaries — the rewriter is a self‑contained piece of functionality that stands well on its own.

I'm glad it's found usage beyond this project. That is a reasonable request. I'll add this to the backlog.

I moved the assembly rewriter into a NuGet package. Give it a try and let me know if it's helpful. PE-Packer
