It depends where you got Mono from (you did not specify).  There are
four sources:

	* CVS: Does not contain the dlls, you are expected to compile
	  those yourself.

	* Snapshots: DLLs are included, but typically they lag behind
	  the code, as they are manually updated, and not automatically
	  built.

	* Mono 0.10: The DLLs match perfectly, as this is the only 
	  "supported" release.

	* MonoLabs: Those guys make sure you get the latest and
	  greatest.  These are pre-compiled packages, which require
	  little or no intervention.

My guess is that you got a snapshot.
