The compiler (neither mcs nor csc) is never resolving assemblies
using the GAC. This means that you have to explicitly specify
all assemblies (except system assemblies) using their path.

Mcs/dmcs is also supporting pgk-config files (-pkg option),
but I cant tell you how the GTK pkg-config is called.
Maybe -pkg:gtk-sharp-2.0
