[Mono-dev] Mono.lib on Windows

[Geoff Norton]

Wade,

  If thats the case then I think we should rename it to libmono.lib.  I
think the far more common use case for the file is going to be people
embedding on windows, which is Visual Studio.  I think people who want
to use it in cygwin are a very small subset of that crowd.  Lets rename
and document it the other way around.
