[Mono-list] Compiling and Embedding Mono with msvc

[Joe Ante]

Hi,

I couldn't agree more.

I think the 1.0.1 release is a great opportunity to get the installers on
windows right and put the dll's and lib files you need for embedding into
the normal installer. Or create an additional sdk installer which has the
libraries if you are concerned about download size.
