Are you sure you have added these assemblies to the *Mono* and not in 
the Microsoft .net assembly cache? Try using the gacutil that is in the 
Mono bin dir.

No idea what is giving you these errors, I'm not a MD developer

Uh, creating dummy files is not really a good idea :-) . You have to 
copy the XYZ-api-2.12.raw to XYZ-api.raw to make it work, but  the 
configure script should have done this for you. No idea why you were 
even successful in compiling the libraries. If you really want to 
compilile them manually(NOT RECOMMENDED, could be quite frustrating), 
read http://www.mono-project.com/Compiling_GtkSharp. But you will no 
longer need to install Mono.Cairo into the GAC, it is now included in 
the Gtk# repo(could someone update the wiki, please?). Otherwise use the 
bundled installer from 
http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html, Gtk# 2.10 should be 
sufficient for running Mono on Windows.
