[Mono-dev] full AOT support

[Jonathan Shore]

Duane,

Actually I do run this app embedded (and also standalone).   I found that
the performance I obtained with embedded was much lower (because uses the
mono JIT vs LLVM by default).   I had tried to get it to use LLVM embedded
and failed.  Had tried with:

char* options = "--llvm";
mono_jit_parse_options (1, &options);

This function does not contain an option for llvm though.   Not sure if
this is an oversight or whether there is an alternate way to set this up.

If I can get llvm enabled would be very helpful.

Thanks
Jonathan
