I hope I'm wrong, but I assume this means for those of us on linux only that:

  1) there's no point in tracking cvs b/c the dll's could become out-of-date 
at any point
  2) there's no point in downloading the daily snapshots since they, too, 
can contain out-of-date dll's
  3) there is no workaround for either #1 or #2 b/c linux is not 
self-hosting for the core libraries
  4) if I want to use mono on linux, I should stick to the release builds 
like 0.12 until #3 is resolved

I would very much like to contribute to the core libraries since in their 
current state they will not support an app I would like to build.
