That's true.  The MapGuideUnmanagedApi.dll was replaced with a collection of "Unmanaged" dlls

FoundationUnmanagedApi.dll
GeometryUnmanagedApi.dll
MapGuideCommonUnmanagedApi.dll
PlatformBaseUnmanagedApi.dll
WebUnmanagedApi.dll

Which are referenced from a collection of new .Net assemblies

OSGeo.MapGuide.Foundation.dll
OSGeo.MapGuide.Geometry.dll
OSGeo.MapGuide.MapGuideCommon.dll
OSGeo.MapGuide.PlatformBase.dll
OSGeo.MapGuide.Web.dll


And the new MapGuideDotNetApi.dll uses TypeForwardedTo to reference the new assemblies.  From a .Net API perspective, just referencing MapGuideDotNetApi.dll should bring everything in.  From a C++ and install image perspective, a little more work is required.

I'm not sure if this helps...
