So I guessed it right that I should use "library" target to build dll style
assembly and "module" to build modules ("static libraries") to link into the
other 3 assembly targets that mcs takes. (Just out of curriosity what's the
difference between "exe" and "winexe" targets?)

Now, once library is built where should it be installed (and is there any
extra steps apart from just copying something.dll into some location) to
become available to mono?
