"monolite" is a minimal distribution of the Mono C# compiler mcs.exe,
and its dependencies - it is needed to compile the Mono C# compiler mcs.exe.

Tarballs of Mono bundle monolite, but git builds you either need an
existing "mcs" in $PATH, or to obtain monolite separately

"make get-monolite-latest" will use curl or wget to download a
compatible version of monolite to your source tree (into
mcs/class/lib/monolite/)
