How to add reference to resource folder when generating dll file using IKVM

I have some resources e.g. xml files, images etc in org\languagetool\resource directory in my jars applications directory.

I wonder how to provide reference to these resources when building dll from a jar file.
I tried adding following options:
-externalresource:org/languagetool/resources=org/languagetool/resources/
and
-resource:org/languagetool/resources=org/languagetool/resources/
but both seems does not to work.

My Command is as follows:

ikvmc.exe -target:library -out:LanguageTool.dll -resource:org/languagetool/rules=org/languagetool/rules/ -resource:org/languagetool/resources=org/languagetool/resources/ LanguageTool.jar

PS: I am creating dll for LanguageTools library http://www.languagetool.org/

IKVM currently supports -recurse: flag that allows to add a full folder as a resource in the output .dll file. That helped me not list files one by one :)

                      - INPUT FILES -
-reference:<filespec>          Reference an assembly (short form -r:<filespec>)
-recurse:<filespec>            Recurse directory and include matching files
-exclude:<filename>            A file containing a list of classes to exclude

I am able to use it the next way:

-recurse:M:/git/citrine/scala/src/main/resources

The -externalresource: and -resource: options both are for individual files only, so if you want multiple resources, you have to include all of them explicitly (by specifying the option multiple times).
