(Almost) never. This has been useful for debugging under Windows (so
that I could load Mono's System.Security.dll and not MS one). 

This is a very specific case and it doesn't need to be in SVN, so you
can remove that hack without problems (as I can re-hack it on my side if
I ever need to debug this again).
