[mono-vb] VBNC and .NET Framework

[Kornél Pál]

You bundle "mono" because it is required by the application. But because 
it's bundled with your application you will not need a separate Mono 
installation.

For more information about creating bundles see "man mkbundle" and 
http://www.mono-project.com/Guide:Running_Mono_Applications#Bundles
