 '/addmodule' option instead
 
 is what I get, when i make this sorta mistake. If possible, we should
 give the same error.
 
 this is a wishlist (non-graceful failure).

+btw, when i run mcs on the MS.net runtime, i get a *much* cleaner error:
+
+error CS0006: Cannot load assembly === Pre-bind state information ===

+It does not tell me anything about module/assembly, but at least it is
+not an assertion, and the compiler is able to exit semi-gracefully.
