[MonoDevelop] Unable to build MD from trunk because of mono.pc

[B.R.]

Hi,

Mono 2.7 breaks the embedding ABI, so the soname has been bumped, and the
pkg-config .pc file has also been bumped to mono-2.pc. Symlinking that to
mono.pc helped me build MonoDevelop, but it's an ugly hack and should be
avoided if possible. I imagine the autotools scripts should be updated to
accept mono-2.pc for the Mono dependency.
