[Mono-list] mono default config? [Was: new debugging library loading]

[Fabrício Santos]

Viva Jackson and all,

I much appreciated this patch. With it, and with a bit more help from Denis,
I was able to resolve a very annoying DllNotFoundException.
I sorted out the problem by running mono and the application while
explicitly specifying the mono config file like this:

[root@sereia gtk-sharp]# mono --config /etc/mono/config helloworld.exe

Shouldn't mono use the file /etc/mono/config by default? I have not set any
"~/.mono/config" file nor any "MONO_CONFIG" environment variable.

Thanks for any help!
