+The diff attached below fixes the bug. The problem was that the 
+handler/service compiler was not looking for the type named in the 
+Class attribute in the top-level assemblies, but only in the 
+assemblies found in ~/bin. The diff also modifies the CachingCompiler 
+to account for the top-level assemblies. Gonzalo, please review and 
+let me know if I can commit the fix.
+
+Daniel, as for why ~/Bin doesn't work. *nix is case-sensitive and if 
+we want to avoid a performance hit, we need to limit the number of 
+checks for file names. We could load a list of directories in the 
+application root dir and then search the list case-insensitively, or 
+we could test if common names of a given folder exist (e.g. Bin, bin, 
+BIN - all of them would be the same on Windows, not so on *nix) - but 
+all that would give a huge performance hit. There is, however, a way 
+to make Mono case-insensitive (while paying the performance penalty) 
+by exporting the MONO_IOMAP=case environment variable (the variable 
+can also have other values, please see man mono(1))
+
+Hope that helps,
