I previously reported that the "monodoc.bat" file generated by the Mono v2.10
installation program is bogus.  It is easy to fix, though, and I did just that.

When I invoke "monodoc.bat", which again invokes "mono.exe" on "Browser.exe", I
get an exception stating that a part of a path could not be found:

****

The key here is that there has never been such a path (unless the Mono
installation program created it and removed it again) and when you run
"monodoc" from another drive, the drive letter changes in the error message.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Mono v2.10 for Windows.
2. Fix "monodoc.bat" to point to "lib\monodoc\Browser.exe".
3. Run "monodoc.bat".
Actual Results:  
Browser.exe crashes on an exception.

Expected Results:  
Don't know, was trying to see if Monodoc could help me understand the XML
documentation for the Mono Soft Debugger API - I have never tried monodoc
before.
