[Mono-devel-list] Guidelines: Application Deployment; Feedback requested.

[Marcus]

I remember that MSBuild originally did not use the GAC. Then they changed 
their minds. A brief summary of the situation is given in 
http://channel9.msdn.com/wiki/default.aspx/MSBuild.MsbuildAssembliesInTheGac.
I do wish that they had elaborated on the problems that putting the assemblies 
in the GAC created.
