Mono is not being compiled as C++, so its signatures should be okay.

Instead of adding G_{BEGIN/END}_DECLS to Mono's C headers you could  
try doing export "C" { ... } around your #includes in your C++ files  
for simplicity.

Note that if you change Mono's headers you may need to clean your  
embedding project since it most likely doesn't notice such changed  
dependencies outside your project.
