If we really want to be clever, and avoid doing things twice, we can put
this:

internal class MonoConsts {
#if ...
	public string FXVersion = ...
#elif ...
	...
#endif
}

in the common build directory. This way, the next time we need to target
another FX, we don't have to do it in 100 places.

The Const.cs is probably still a good idea, since it is really ugly to
have those magic names lying around the source code.
