[Mono-list] Get Mono version at run-time

[Alexander M. Batishchev]

Hi,
Why don't make this property public for common use if there is no other
method to get Mono version? And direct call is better than via reflection, I
guess.

For NUnit, I invoke Mono.Runtime.GetDisplayName. It's not
public, so I invoke it by reflection. It gives a string 
like "Mono 1.2.6", which you can parse to get the version 
number or just use for display as I do.
