[Mono-list] Mono Linux Installer suggestions

[Daniel Lopez]

Hi Daniel,

The installer needs to play some tricks to make Mono relocatable (take a
look at /path/to/install/bin/mono)

I will look into 1, 2 and updating the installer. I am not very familiar
with 3, if somebody figures it out first, please let me know.

Best regards

Daniel
