For some reason the ms runtime can't load the System.Xml assembly.
There is already a bug filed on this: unlike with the mscorlib and
System assemblies, the ms assembly loader checks the version and
publictoken fields in a System.Xml assemblyref and since we set them to
0 (or null), the load fails.
You can avoid the problem by distributing the mono System.Xml
in the same dir as the application.
