Wrong. Step one already provides everything you need to embed mono.
There is no need to mess with compiling mono yourself.

The only missing file might be mono.lib, the import library
of mono.dll, but you can create this file with VS' lib.exe
tool from msvc/mono.def (from mono's sources):

cd msvc
lib /def:mono.def /out:mono.lib /machine:x86

That gives bonus points ;-)
