[Mono-list] Making code conditional on "not running on mono"?

[Ian MacLean]

We do somthing similar in nant. Except we use #ifdef mono.
Another way to test if you are on windows it to check the value of 
DirectorySeperatorchar. That won't help if you're trying to test for 
mono since you cold be on mono on wondows.
