according to FHS 2.2 section 4.7.1, footnote 18 architecture indipendent
files (such as MSIL assemblies) should go in /usr/share instead of /usr/lib
(that is reserved for arch dependant data).

I propose that MSIL assemplies should be read from /usr/share/msil, in a
way similiar to for example the jpackage.org project that builds java
packages that store their jar-files in /usr/share/java.

Another feature that would be good for developers that use mono would be a
way to query the mono runtime about where it looks for assemblies,
perferrably by passing a special option to mono (for example
--print-assembly-dir) 

What do you people think?
