This worked! With the changes you gave me I was able to successfully
link to libmono.so and run the test application under WineLib. The
output from nm confirmed that symbols starting with "mono_" are  the
only symbols exported.

I fully agree with you. I would rather see the WineLib/SWF applications
started with the mono command also. The issue with garbage collection
enabled in the build also creates a problem but at this point I believe
there is enough get started on the WinForms implementation. Also, these
issues are not really a problem with the any of the code in the Mono
project. They are really problems caused by using external libraries
with Mono.

Thanks,
