[Mono-list] Script to help build mono

There seems to be a few more people trying to build Mono now, so I
wrote a script that grabs the dependencies, builds them, and then builds
mono itself.  It manages details like ACLOCAL_FLAGS and PKG_CONFIG_PATH
for you.

To use this, you need wget (other url-grabbing scripts can be added if
needed), and all the build tools like gcc, make, automake, etc.  Put the
script wherever you want (eg /usr/local/bin), make a new directory to hold
all the bits, and run it from that new directory.

To spell it out:

1) save the attachment to /usr/local/bin/mono-build.sh
2) chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/mono-build.sh
3) mkdir ~/mono
4) cd ~/mono
5) /usr/local/bin/mono-build.sh


I've tested it here, and it works for me :)  Please let me know if there are
any problems (or improvements.)

Oh, and it's only going to work on Linux or Linux-like systems - cygwin/w32
support is coming.

# Script to automate the building of mono and its dependencies.
# Relies on wget being installed (could make it fall back to using
# lynx, links, w3, curl etc), assumes that gcc, make, tar, automake,
# etc are already installed too (may be worth testing for all that
# right at the top and bailing out if missing/too old/too new etc).

# installation, unless we are given an alternative location
