Mono.Security.dll doesn't depend on any mono specific features (i.e.
another Mono assembly to runtime specific stuff) so you can simply
create a project and include all the files in the
"Mono.Security.dll.sources" (which should be all of the .cs files except
the unit tests).

This should allow you to modify the Ssl* classes to add support for DH
(which is also inside Mono.Security.dll). Don't hesitate to ask question
about the SSL/DH code if you get bugged down somewhere.

Thanks :)
