You are right, static libraries are not needed to build .NET apps but I'm
embedding mono in my C app so I need headers .h at compile time and static
libs .a for linking.
http://www.mono-project.com/using/embedded-api.html#embed.

During previous versions of mono, headers and static libraries were included
in one release and left out in the next one. May be its better to consider a
devel-package ?
