[Mono-dev] [PATCH] mcs.exe rsp file support

I added a pc file that you can use:

	mcs -pkg:dotnet file.cs

Which includes all of the .NET libraries.

Notice that this requires all of the libraries to be installed: if you
have a partial Mono install (because you manually selected only a few
packages, or your distribution does not include all of the assemblies)
you will get an error when building. 

This in general is not an issue for those who have Mono installations
from source. 

Miguel.
