[Mono-dev] Building mono on windows

[Michael Stoll]

Hi Robert,

each make call got me the same message, so that didn't help.
But I found a solution. By replacing the mcs.exe with one from the 
binary release I got a better error message. So I found out that the 
machine.config was not accessible due to access restrictions. Fixed that 
and the build went well.

Regards Michale
