+------- Additional Comments From peter@novonyx.com  2005-02-19 16:33 -------
+Since requring anything but .so in the P/Invoke will break MWF on 
+various other systems where naming conventions are different, we 
+cannot change this.
+
+Developers can be expected to install -devel packages (and since you 
+are compiling from svn head, you can be expected to. Curious how you 
+compiled libgdplus without devel)
+
+For prebuilt packages, the solution is to either make the package 
+require -devel, or to create a System.Windows.Forms.dll.config file 
+for the platform that performs the appropriate mapping.
