[Mono-devel-list] [RFA, PATCH] 'make bootstrap' -- a better reincarnation of 'make fullbuild'

This is a beautiful setup Raja, this patch solves maybe the most asked
question and the major problem we have had in the past.

I like the patch, could you commit, and update the build instructions in
`mono' and `mcs' modules?
