[Mono-list] MacOS packages.

[Andy Satori]

Urs is correct, after some more digging, it's the 'way' to go.  it's 
going to take me a couple of days to cleanup my own system to get all 
this built and tested (wish I had another machine for this...  oh 
well).

I've got the packages and base installer's built, I just need to run 
through and tweak them into frameworks.  This will also make them much 
easier to install and manage in the future.
