[Mono-list] Bootstrapping CVS mono and mcs

[Piers Haken]

Building the class libraries on linux is currectly a bit of a black art
sue to the dependancies between the compiler and the runtime.

You'll need to do the following steps:

- Install a working version of mono (I'll refer to this as the
'install')
- Get the CVS sources for mcs and mono (I'll refer to these as 'CVS mcs'
and 'CVS mono')
- build the CVS mcs.exe and the CVS corlib.dll and copy these to your
install directory (bin & lib)
- build CVS mono and copy the bits over your install
- now build the rest of the CVS class libs and copy them over your
install
