In the attempt to make the hurting stop, I propose that we do the
following:
If the mono package includes .so files, it should use
%{_libdir}/%{name}.
If the mono package does not include .so files, it should be BuildArch:
noarch and use /usr/lib.
EXE files should have a symlink to %{_bindir}.
Mono apps should NOT ship local copies of existant system DLLs without a
really really good reason.
I don't like it, but I think its easier to just draw the line there than
try to rework an entire language.
