+The correct way to deal with this issue is to set the MONO_CFG_DIR
+environment var to point to a directory with the config files you want
+to ship with your bundled app. You then can easy add a script that
+sets the var and invokes the app or even set the var in main() just before
+the mono initialization. The directory should have the same structure
+as the existing $prefix/etc/mono.
+One of the reasons the mkbundle hack miguel added is not correct is
+that some of the code in the assemblies (the security and the sys.web
+code, for example) will load the file by name anyway and it would be
+a lot of work to fix that with no gain (including exporting new icalls
+from corlib...).
