Run ./autogen.sh first, as it will call autoconf etc int the correct
order to generate the ./configure file, and then run it. This is
pretty much an autotools convention now, but I guess the README should
be corrected sometime.

./autogen.sh --prefix=`pkg-config --variable=prefix mono

If you want to change the configuration later you should just be able
to run ./configure, unless the build system has been substantially
changed, in which case the build may not work. If that happens, just
use ./autogen.sh again.
