No one forces you to use the .exe file ending, but doing anything else
is confusing to your uses.

I believe that mcs can output file instead of file.exe just fine, and
mono should be able to execute file instead of file.exe without any
issues.

However, mono will *still* need to execute file, its not magic.

We are writing software, not making rabbits jump out of hats.

Regardless, I recommend manually wrapping it with a shell script, as
that allows you to put private dlls in your AppBase without
poluting /usr/bin with a bunch of .dlls. That is by far the best way to
go.

But its a problem that has lots of different solutions. Pick the one
that works for you, and use it.
