Actually, assemblies *might* contain system specific calls, even if we
have regularly tried to avoid that, so assemblies should live in
/usr/lib or something like that.

That being said, currently we only have a temporary solution.  The right
.NET way to support assemblies is to install them into the Global
Assembly Cache.  

Either we construct the GAC in /usr/lib/assemblies, or
/var/run/something.
