This addin doesn't alter the compilation all all, that's left to the core code.

In order to have mdb files when compiling on Windows for transferring
to the debuggee, you should either:
a) Set MonoDevelop to target the Mono runtime/toolchain, using
Project->Target Runtime, so it will use *mcs when compiling.
-or-
b) Use pdb2mdb to convert the pdb files produced by .NET's csc to mdb files

Since the choice of target runtime is up to the user, not the addin, I
would suggest supporting pdb2mdb anyway.

Yes, see https://github.com/mono/monodevelop/commits/master
