+Summary: Bundled executable looks for machine.config in wrong place
+
+When building a bundled executable with mkbudle2, the resulting executable
+will look for either mono/1.0/machine.config or mono/2.0/machine.config
+under the directory pointed to by the MONO_CFG_DIR depending on whether it
+happens to find the start assembly (built for 2.0) in the file system or not.
+
+If it finds the start assembly in the file system, it looks what runtime
+version that assembly wants, and uses that. Otherwise it uses 1.0.
+
+In my opinion a bundled executable should always use the bundled
+assemblies, never load a version from the file system. Otherwise one will
+easily run into a problem, like I did, that is very hard to diagnose, when
+things work differently in the work directory where the corresponding
+assembly .exe happens to be, and in some other directory.
+
+Also, I guess I would like mkbundle2 to be enahnced so that the bundled
+mono would know that the default runtime version should be 2.0, not 1.0.
