Whats the problem with simply using a shell script wrapper like the one
that is provided for 'mcs' and the other utilities? a generic form would
be:

   #!/bin/sh
   exec /usr/local/bin/mono $0.exe "$@"

You would give it the same name (without the .exe) as your assembly and
place it with executable permissions in the same directory somewhere in
your path.
