[Mono-dev] WindowsBase in mcs

[Alan McGovern]

The only other option is for there to be a place on disk which is:

A) Guaranteed to be writable
B) Guaranteed to have enough space to create the package.

If those guarantees can be given, I'll gladly make the change. If they
can't, then I don't want to completely break this API just to save memory.

Alan.
