The mono directory and gac directories are ALWAYS in /usr/lib
irrespective of architecture or platform. These are the only exceptions
to the rules. From memory, this was decided on many moons ago by Ximian
(that's how old it is!) to be analogous of the Windows/System directory.

I'm open to suggestions on this, but to maintain reliability and
compliance with the mono infrastructure, it has to remain in /usr/lib
