[Mono-list] HOWTO Install Mono-0.20 under OS X 10.2

[Urs Muff]

On a vanilla fink installation, mono does not compile, since it only has a
dependency to glib2-shlib, but need glib2 [easy fix: 'fink install glib'].

One problem: if I try to compile HelloWorld.cs using mcs, it just hangs [CPU
to max for more than 10 minutes and no response].  Then I compiled
HelloWorld on my cygwin 0.20 installation, copied the HelloWorld.exe [that
works on cygwin using mono] to my Mac.  I tried to start it using mint
HellowWorld.exe, but the same thing: it just hangs [CPU to max and no output
other and the WARNING **: Using non-atomic functions!]
