+Summary: Runtime tries to locate Machine.config in wrong directory
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+On Windows, Mono tries to locate the machine.config in the wrong 
+directory.  In version 0.21 of Mono it tries to locate the machine.config 
+in C:\cygwin\home\lalo\go-mono\install\etc\mono.  Apparently this is 
+something that corresponds with a setting at the time the runtime was 
+build.  I assume that the guy that built the windows setup package for 
+mono, stores his machine.config at this location.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+
+Create an application that reads application settings from an application 
+configuration file.  This will cause the runtime to load the 
+machine.config.
+
+Actual Results:
+
+When the machine.config is not at that location you get the following 
+warning (and the machine.config is not loaded, which causes exceptions 
+later on) :
+
+** Warning **: cannot find C:\cygwin\home\lalo\go-
+mono\install\etc\mono\machine.
+config
+Trying to load app config file...
+
+Expected Results:
+
+Mono should locate the machine.config in the Mono install directory.  when 
+Mono is installed on windows, it creates the following directory 
+structure :
+
+<drive letter>:\Mono-<mono version>\install with the following 
+subdirectories :
+
+bin\
+etc\
+lib\
+doc\
+...
+
+After installation the machine.config file is actually located in :
+
+<drive letter>:\Mono-<mono version>\install\etc\mono
+
+eg.
+
+C:\Mono-0.21\install\etc\mono\machine.config
+
+The runtime should actually load the machine.config from that location
+
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+Always
