We may want to tailor corlib to a little-endian or big-endian arch, for
example, or some specific Linux/libc version so that would need to go 
into /usr/lib/...
Until that is done, though, using /usr/share/mono/... is fine with me
for the mono-specific libs (corlib, System, maybe also System.Xml).
When we'll implement the GAC, assemblies will need to be installed in it
with a mono-provided tool and the place would be inside /usr/lib/mono
since we'll store the ngen'ed data there, but the actual directory used
by the GAC is not important, since no user tool needs to look into it.
