I have now implemented something that will look up the directory at
runtime based on the filename, but I need someone to test this for me,
as I do not run Mono on Windows.

I have also added a `mono/mono/os' directory, where we have currently
two things: `os/unix' and `os/win32', so we can put OS specific code
here instead of using #ifdef PLATFORM_WIN32 code all over the place. 

I will commit as soon as I try the code out in Linux, I would appreciate
if someone with Windows can give it a shot.

Best wishes,
Miguel.
