Yes, that is the recommended solution.

It can be done step-by-step though.

I am curious. I didn't know I could add a project as a reference and have it
included in the EXE. I usually compile the business logic into a DLL first
and then include the DLL as a reference and end up with an EXE and that DLL
in the bin/Release folder. (With MonoMac it doesn't matter anyway, since
everything is bundled in a .APP folder and it doesn't matter how many files
there are.)

P.S.: I wish Windows supported .APP bundles. Ideally the Windows version of
the program should be in the Contents/Windows folder and the same business
logic DLL could be used.
