Currently CLR programs created with mcs on linux won't run directly in
windows for a couple of reasons:
1) there isn't the glue so that mint/mono (or mscoree itself) is called
automatically.
2) there are probably some fields in the PE header that are incorrectly
set, so windows doesn't recognise the program as valid.

Someone offered to fix 1, since I know nothing about how that works
in windows, but I haven't received patches yet. And if people have the 
time/skills to track down the second problem, that would be appreciated, 
too:-)
