So we've talked a bit about what needs to happen here.  Here are a few ideas
and/or points we talked about:

1) We need to ask at build time or possibly have an option in the advanced tab
where the user can specify what the target runtime platform for the RPM is
(SLE/RHEL, openSUSE, etc.)

2) Andrew was going to look into seeing if logical OR statements could be used
in Requires: field.  Turns out that they can't which makes a universal RPM
impossible.

3) Runtime scripts need to be added which dynamically determine if
/opt/novell/mono/bin/mono-addon-environment.sh exists and if so, we're on
Mono-X and to set the environment to differently.

Something like this (all on one line, '\' escapes a carriage return):

#!/bin/sh

[ -e /opt/novell/mono/bin/mono-addon-environment.sh ] && \
   source /opt/novell/mono/bin/mono-addon-environment.sh

# Rest of code for start up here...

4) Different spec templates could be used for the different platforms.

Anything I left out???
