 It CAN find, but it CANNOT use this assembly (because of unresolvable 
 dependencies).
 Please simply change the error message for this scenario from "Cannot 
 find 'ChilkatDotNet.dll'." to "Assembly 'ChilkatDotNet.dll' has got a 
 missing dependencies to 'Microsoft.VisualC'." or something similar.

+TO BE VERIFIED BY A 2ND PERSON:
+
+Additionally, when there is an assembly on MS.NET with a dependency 
+to another assembly which is not available, MS.NET ignores this 
+problem when there is no use of that missing assembly.
+
+For example, I've created an assembly reference to Microsoft.VisualC 
+in my VisualStudio project, but for configuration platform LINUX, I 
+disabled all methods (by compiler instructions #IF/#END IF) which 
+take usage of that missing assembly. Only the unused reference to the 
+assembly remains. But since there is no need for it, I don't have to 
+distribute it.
+
+With mono, I currently always get the exception that the assembly is 
+missing (or when we're exact: it's telling me that the file cannot be 
+found).
