[Mono-list] Compiling 2.8

[Abe Gillespie]

Depends on what you're doing.  If you're creating a standard assembly
and / or console app then you'll need:

mono
libgdiplus (to be safe)

If you're creating a web / ASP.Net app then you'll need:

mono
libgdiplus
xsp
mod_mono (if you're hosting in Apache)

That's about it.
