[Mono-dev] Obtain the available memory

[Rafael Ferreira]

Parsing the output of "top" would be a hideous solution. A slightly
better one would be to parse /proc/meminfo.  But that would be a linux
only implementation and it would have to be reimplemented on other
platforms. 

FYI, this discussion is better suited for the mono users list, not
mono-dev.
