+Summary: mono-build.sh could be more friendly to non-GNU systems
+
+The mono-build.sh script tries to use BASH from a location where it 
+may not exist, and also could use something other than wget(1) by 
+default on non-GNU systems to do fetching of files over HTTP.
+
+Here's the header from the patch at http://people.freebsd.org/
+~jmallett/mono-build.sh.patch  :
+
+Use env(1) to find bash(1), as outside of OSF/1 and GNU, it may 
+appear in the path, however it does not appear in /bin.  This script is 
+unfortunately bash(1) specific, or it'd make sense to use /bin/sh.  A 
+space has been added between the shebang and the invocation of 
+env(1), as that is "more portable".
+
+Use a variable, HTTP_GET instead of wget(1), since it is noted in 
+comments that this is not necessarily correct.  On FreeBSD use 
+fetch(1) which is a part of the base system and works well for the 
+functionality needed here.
