We were seeing situations where DesignTimeBuild was not re-running when folks changed NativeMethods.txt and that caused the intellisense experience to get out of sync with the build. @davkean suggested I use AdditionalDesignTimeBuildInput and that seems to do the trick.
The downside is that this ItemGroup seems to need to be populated during project evaluation and can't be the output of an ItemGroup, and that limits our ability to use any kind of complex conditions. I ended up having to grab all AdditionalFiles instead of AdditionalFiles which end in NativeMethods.txt.
