If it's fundamentally a Mono runtime with a few modifications, the
easiest way is to use Preferences->.NET Runtimes to add your runtime,
then you can set the default runtime IDE-wide, or change it
per-project (as a per-user setting) using the Project->Target Runtime
menu.

If you wish to make it a framework setting that gets persisted into
the project, things will get much more complicated, not just
implementation with w.r.t. compatibility with VS, existing projects,
etc.
