[mono-vb] CLI program compiled with VS08 does't run under Mono 1.9.1

[Rafael Teixeira]

The all VB.NET compilers use many other things from Microsoft.VisualBasic
assembly, it is the "runtime" library for the language, so you won't be able
to remove references to it. If you don't wan't such a dependency you should
use C# that AFAIK is the only language that doesn't need some other runtime
library besides the 3 core .NET assemblies (mscorlib, System and
System.Xml).

To have your program running in mono you just need to install the mono
package that contains the library and the compiler (the name depends on the
distro, as they package it differently, although most use the mono-basic
prefix).

Hope it helps,
