Once the native osx MWF driver is at the point of readiness (which 
includes the cairo patches getting commited into their codebase which 
is out of my control) we will include MWF in the mono packages with the 
libgdip and cairo needed (dont quote me; but I'll talk to the osx 
packaging duder who's involved with cocoa# with me)
