           Summary: mono install is no longer relocatable, patch included

There is code in set_dirs in mono/metadata/assembly.c that attempts to figure
out the mono install path based on the path to the mono executable. This code
assumes that PREFIX/lib/mono/1.0 exists, and falls back on the hardcoded
installation-prefix based logic when it doesn't.

Unfortunately, the installation process no longer creates this directory, so
this auto-detection always fails and mono fails to run with:

The assembly mscorlib.dll was not found or could not be loaded.
It should have been installed in the `/usr/local/lib/mono/2.0/mscorlib.dll'
directory.

If I mkdir -p PREFIX/lib/mono/1.0 then the mono install will run from anywhere
so long as the structure of the installation directory is intact relative to
PREFIX/bin/mono.

I suggest the following change:

--- ../../mono-2.8.2/mono/metadata/assembly.c    2011-01-04 12:39:55.000000000
