We rename corlib to mscorlib also when saving the PE files, in fact, the
s runtime can execute program created by mono just fine. I assume pnet
can do as well, if the features required by the program are implemented
there as well (for example, they can run some simple mono-compiled Gtk#
programs).
We plan to rename corlib to MonoSystemCOReLIBrary (mscorlib)
in the next few days (weeks, months, whatever) anyway.
