+Summary: gacutil can't handle absolute paths due to buggy option processing
+
+If you try and give gacutil an absolute pathname on Linux, it interprets
+the leading slash in the filename as an option specifier and won't run:
+
+$ gacutil  /i /path/to/foo.dll /root /usr/lib
+Option /i takes 1 argument
+
+$ gacutil  -i /path/to/foo.dll -root /usr/lib
+Option -i takes 1 argument
+
+It looks like the Main function in driver.cs needs some special-casing for
+options taking parameters.
