[Mono-list] Mono builds for Mac OS X, rwlock fix and project files

[Ryan Wilhm]

Before I leave, I thought I'd take a quick and dirty stab at a
pthread_rwlock workaround. (I basically did it the same way the recursive
mutex fix was done. I haven't really done any unit testing so I can't vouch
for it's usefulness...) I also thought I'd make my build available, in case
anybody wanted to give it a shot. As it stands, it builds but is
functionally broken.

RWLock Workaround-

Build-

Thanks,
Ryan
