Hmm... after that , I still can't understand why mono is yet another
dependency hellhole ... I've tried compiling gcc before and understand
bootstrapping , but this is insane !!! ..

I've tried DotGNU and found that CVS compiled out of the box , can I 
use that to compile mcs Or is there a vendor conflict there as well ?
