[Mono-osx] Beginner - Very Simple P/Invoke Example?

[Duane Wandless]

I recommend the dllmap approach when embedding.  I could not get any of the
environment variables to be correctly set and read at runtime.  I'd set it
during the app load routine, init mono and mono would fail to find the
library.  If I set the environment variable prior to launching the app mono
could find the library.  Using the dllmap I'm able to set at runtime where
my dylib is located, which is within the app itself.
