[Mono-dev] make install doesn't copy monodroid profile assemblies to the prefix directory

[Jeremy Bell]

Thanks Rodrigo. Copying sounds like the way to go.


As an aside, this is for an open source project and the intent is to use
the core mono runtime under the terms of the LGPL as stated in the
licensing documentation. If there is any code in the mono repository that
isn't dual licensed (in other words, commercial only, with no option for
LGPL use), that needs to be made explicitly clear, as currently there is no
mention of such in the licensing doc.

Regards,
Jeremy
