[Mono-winforms-list] mcs and windows forms

[Jonathan Pobst]

mcs is for compiling 1.1 code.  Use gmcs to compile a 2.0 assembly.  You 
can also replace the system.data, drawing, and forms statements with 
-pkg:dotnet.  It should look roughly like:

gmcs form1.cs form1.designer.cs -resource:form1.resx joystick.cs
program.cs /out:main.exe -reference:..\..\..\common\dll\my.dll
-pkg:dotnet

You can also use -r: instead of -reference: if you want.
