Este método de extensión obtiene todos los ensamblados referenciados, recursivamente, incluidos los ensamblados anidados.

Al usar ReflectionOnlyLoad, carga los ensamblados en un AppDomain separado, que tiene la ventaja de no interferir con el proceso JIT.

Notarás que también hay un MyGetMissingAssembliesRecursive. Puede usar esto para detectar cualquier ensamblado faltante al que se haga referencia, pero que no esté presente en el directorio actual por alguna razón. Esto es increíblemente útil cuando se usa MEF. La lista de devoluciones le dará tanto el ensamblaje que falta, y quién es el propietario (su padre).
