+Summary: mono --help is printed to stderr
+
+Running mono --help, the help page is printed to stderr, not stdout as is 
+standard. Thus it is not possible to pipe the output through a pager 
+like 'more' to view the help page a page at a time.
+
+To reproduce:
+
+Type mono --help | more
+
+The entire help page scrolls past and vanishes.
+
+I am using mono 0.30.2, under Debian/Unstable.
