As an independent software developer not affiliated with Novell, I
would advise against bundling at all.  You would be using disk space
on your target machine for something that can be shared between
applications anyway.  If you are deploying to a Windows machine then
the Microsoft .NET runtime should be easily installable, and if you
are deploying to Linux then many distributions already have Mono
packages.  Simply instruct your users to install them.
