+Summary: mcs doesn't search libraries in /lib on windows by default
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what 
+you are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+While on Linux a referenced assembly, that lives in the default assembly 
+directory (/pathto/lib) gets searched by mcs, on windows the path has to 
+be speciefied completely.
+
+Mcs (normally placed in /something/bin/) should by default look 
+in /something/lib. That's also, where the other libraries like corlib.dll 
+or System.dll live.
+ 
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Try to compile an application, that uses GTK# or ADO.NET without 
+referencing the whole path.
+
+Actual Results:
+
+It is needed:
+
+mcs MyTestApp.cs -lib:c:\mono-0.19\install\lib\ -r System.Data.dll -r 
+Mono.Data.MySql.dll
+
+Expected Results:
+
+mcs MyTestApp.cs -r System.Data.dll -r Mono.Data.MySql.dll
+
+should be enought.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+always
