[Mono-list] Serving cshtml files as parsed.

[Fernando Rodriguez]

You still need those assemblies on your bin. They're used to process the 
cshtml files. On Windows it probably uses the ones in the GAC but at least for 
me it doesn't in mono. 

You'll need the following a handler on your Web.config, I tried the following:

      <add verb="*" path="*.cshtml" validate="false" 
type="System.Web.Mvc.MvcHttpHandler, 
System.Web.Mvc, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, 
PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />

I assume you got that since it works on Windows but make sure the version 
matches the assembly that you put on your bin directory.. I used the one that 
comes with MS MVC4. You may have a different handler on your web.config, just 
make sure that whatever it's assembly is you copy it to your bin.

Also all the System.Web.WebPages.* from your mono GAC need to be copied to 
your bin dir.

Once you got that it should compile and serve your cshtml files.
