[Mono-dev] mono pkgconfig variables incorrect?

hi...

I just installed mono-1.13.8.2 from source on a slackware box... on
the road to getting banshee up and running... and was getting
Mono.Data.SqliteClient.dll complaints... which I tracked down to
mono.pc --variable=prefix checking.

so... mono.pc has prefix and exec_prefix values of '${pcfiledir}/..'
rather than the actual prefix where I installed mono-1.13.8.2
(/inst/pkg-ver/mono-1.13.8.2)... i'd call this is a bug, without
getting into debates about deb/rpm/pick your distro package management
vs how I build my own packages from source on distribution X :)

prefix=${pcfiledir}/../..
exec_prefix=${pcfiledir}/../..

vs

prefix=/inst/pkg-ver/mono-1.1.13.8.2
exec_prefix=${prefix}

thanks,
- jason
